• Ranked 17th of 666 at IMO 2026 with 35/42 (perfect P3/P5/P6), one of two Indian gold medalists alongside Aarav Gupta of Delhi (PIH on MathCast IV).Jul 2026
• Won silver at IMO 2025 (rank 88, 32/42) then gold at IMO 2026 - a two-year national-team run; on the 2026 team only he and Kanav Talwar returned from 2025, suggesting rising form rather than a one-year peak.Jul 2026
• Sophie Fellowship bio describes him as a 12th grader from Bangalore who loves algebra, number theory and combinatorics, started olympiads in 8th grade, and is a four-time INMO awardee + INOI bronze medalist - a sustained five-year record, not a late bloomer.2026
• Also won gold at APMO 2026, showing the 2026 form extended to the Asian-Pacific olympiad, so the IMO gold is part of a broader peak season.2026
• National coverage (PIB, Indian Express, Deccan Herald, Moneycontrol) names him among India's 2 gold + 4 silver medalists at IMO 2026, confirming he is one of the country's two highest-scoring contestants that year.Jul 21, 2026
• Gave a public lecture-style video 'Nuking Problems Projectively: The Fundamentals of Projective Geometry' on the OMath channel, evidence he teaches/explains olympiad geometry publicly.2026
• Listed as a participant from Creative School, Bengaluru at an ICTS mathematics event, tying his school identity to an active research-institute network beyond competition math.
• Appears in Sophie Fellowship math-outreach team (alumni of Indian olympiad training), placing him in the peer network of India's IMO and EGMO medalists.2026
• No personal social accounts or website surfaced; his public footprint is the olympiad circuit rather than a social-media presence, so outreach is best routed through HBCSE / Sophie Fellowship.
