IMO Medalist

Ananda’s passion for Math Olympiads stems from his love for abstract puzzles and the strong friendships he’s built. Geometry was a favorite throughout high school, and he thrives on solving deep problems. Starting Olympiads in eighth grade, he’s grown to appreciate the collaborative and social aspects as much as the math itself. Outside of math, he enjoys solving Sudoku variants, playing chess online, and listening to The Beatles and Mozart. At university, he’s excited to explore new areas of math and embrace “endless discovery.”
