His parents, Mauli and Nischal, both engineers, recognized Krish’s extraordinary abilities early on. By age four, he was reading fluently, excelling in math, and solving decimal divisions. At eight, he completed an entire year’s curriculum in a single day. “Whatever he does, he wants to excel,” said Mauli.

Beyond academics, Krish is a gifted pianist. Recognized by Trinity College of Music’s Hall of Fame, he holds a grade 7 certificate and has won numerous musical competitions, often outperforming older participants. His ability to perform complex pieces from memory underscores his exceptional talent.

In his leisure time, Krish enjoys solving puzzles, watching Young Sheldon, and mastering chess, where he frequently outsmarts his instructor. His remarkable intellect and diverse talents continue to astound and inspire those around him.
