Behind this victory are India’s math prodigies, rigorously selected through nationwide contests:
Gold Medalists: Kanav Talwar, Aarav Gupta, Adhitya Mangudy
Silver Medalists: Abel George Mathew, Aadish Jain
Bronze Medalist: Archit Manas
Guided by mentors Prof. Shanta Laishram (ISI Delhi) and Dr. Mainak Ghosh (ISI Bengaluru), these teens solved brutal problems in algebra, geometry, and combinatorics—skills vital for exams like UPSC and SSC.

Why This Win Matters
Consistent Growth: India bagged 12 golds from 2019–2025, with 9 won in just the last three years.
Training Blueprint: Success stems from Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education’s (HBCSE) 4-stage selection:
Pre-Regional Math Olympiad (PRMO)
Regional Math Olympiad (RMO)
Indian National Math Olympiad (INMO)
Intensive camps at HBCSE.
Global Benchmark: Since its 1989 debut, India now rivals academic giants like China and the USA—inspiring SSC/PSC aspirants to master logical reasoning.
