Vanshika, a young Indian mathematician, has secured ten world records for solving complex calculations faster than a computer, earning commendation from the chief minister and the BJP chief.
Vanshika, a teenage prodigy from India, has been officially recognized for achieving ten world records in mental arithmetic, a feat that places her speed and accuracy ahead of conventional computers. The records, verified by the relevant global bodies, involve solving multi‑digit multiplications, large‑scale divisions and complex numerical puzzles within seconds.
The series of attempts were conducted under strict supervision, with each calculation timed and cross‑checked against computer outputs. In several instances, Vanshika completed the tasks in a fraction of the time taken by standard software, prompting observers to describe her mind as “faster than a computer.”
Both the state chief minister and the national BJP chief publicly lauded her accomplishment, calling it a testament to the country’s emerging talent pool and urging educational institutions to nurture similar abilities. Their statements highlighted the potential impact of such prodigious skills on STEM education and innovation.
Vanshika’s family and mentors say she began exploring advanced mathematics at the age of six and has since participated in national and international competitions. They plan to channel her abilities into research and mentorship programs, aiming to inspire other young learners across the country.
