I was born on August 23, 2010, and grew up in Kalyan, Maharashtra. Up until 7th grade, I was just a kid who liked math at the school level, nothing more.

Everything changed in 8th grade. I switched schools, and almost by accident, got pulled into the world of scholarships and competitions — clearing three local exams, including a rank of 15 in MTSE 2024. That same year is also when I started doing real research, even if it was basic back then. I'd come across unsolved problems in mathematics and just couldn't leave them alone. I wrote them down, thought about them in my free time, and slowly started attempting my own approaches. One of those early attempts, a triangle area derivation, is now on Zenodo. Another, on squaring the circle, is under review at The Mathematical Gazette. A third, on n-secting an angle, I picked back up two years later in 10th grade and turned into something far stronger, now under review at The American Mathematical Monthly.

9th grade was quieter. I'd returned to my old school, my life felt fixed on one path — JEE — and nothing else, and I didn't even know olympiads existed as an option. Then, on July 15, 2025, the day before 10th grade began, that changed. I learned what math olympiads actually were, and what they could mean for the kind of future I wanted. That single discovery redirected everything.

Since then, I've chased that path properly — clearing IOQM, going deeper into research (this time twin primes, with an idea that felt genuinely mine), and learning, sometimes the hard way, what it actually takes to compete at this level. Alongside the math, I found myself pulled toward AI, testing frontier models, hunting for the places they break.

I'm still figuring a lot of this out. But since that year in 8th grade, one thing hasn't changed: I like problems nobody's handed me the answers to.
