Assessment

Across multiple independent platforms in early 2021 (including Indie Hackers and show descriptions for The Rocketcast/Makersrocket), Arav Narula consistently identified as a 13-year-old creator and podcast host. Subsequent educational milestones—such as participating in Ontario high school hackathons between 2023 and 2024 and entering university in autumn 2025—consistently corroborate an approximate 2007–2008 birth year and an age of 13 in May 2021. Confidence is capped at 0.80 because primary public verification rests on self-disclosures and aligned academic milestones rather than official civil registries.

Indie Hackers posts and podcast show descriptions from February–March 2021 explicitly identify Arav Narula as a 13-year-old creator and podcast host.
A local report in the Milton Villager (January 2024) and event records (2023–2024) confirm Narula's participation as a high school student developer in Ontario.
A July 2025 public comment confirming he was heading into university in the fall of 2025 aligns with graduating high school at typical age (~17–18), matching an age of 13 in May 2021.
