Childhood and Early Talent
The poise with which Aaryan handles numbers was apparent at a very early age. His mother remembers that he had been “very good with numbers” as a child. By age 6, Aaryan was starting to practice mental calculations, something well beyond what is considered the average developmental milestone. Knowing he had talent, his parents found ways for him to pursue his new passion. His first international competition was at the age of eight, which he dominated with multiple medals and trophies. This confirmed his exceptional talent and paved the way for the stack of accomplishments that were to follow in the coming years.Record-Breaking Achievements
