The 10-year-old Maths Wizard – Kiaan Sawant

Talent has nothing to do with age and this has been proved by the little boy Kiaan Sawant who started showing his exceptionality at a young age of three. Living in Mumbai, India, Kiaan has become popular internationally due to his mathematics skills. He is just 10 years old, but the list of his awards and honors is much longer than many adult maths scholars out there. Kiaan is a self-learner and that is what brought him so far in his life. His little but inspiring journey is motivational enough for many children to learn that there is no minimum age to start something. 

Early Life of Kiaan Sawant

Kiaan Sawant was born on August 24, 2011, in Mumbai, Maharashtra. At the young age of three, he was able to recollect tables up to 20. Very soon after that, he started answering any 2-digit tables mentally. This was when everyone came to know that Kiaan has some special mathematics talent and he can do a lot in this field. He appeared in his first competitive exam at the age of three and secured the third position there. Soon after that, he secured the first position in a mental maths competition and this was evidence of his ability.

Though Kiaan sometimes finds it challenging to be restricted to his school curriculum as it doesn’t allow him to solve higher-level maths, he is brilliant enough to manage everything together very well. He is a self-learner and his mathematical thinking is the biggest factor that motivates him to keep going.

Achievements

At such a young age, Kiaan has achieved great milestones of which, some of the most significant ones are listed below:

  • Qualified as a member of the high IQ society, Mensa, with a 99% score.
  • Selected as a Genius in mathematics by the Byjus Young Genius Program – Season 2.
  • Got a national scholarship from the British Council of Excellence in English in 2019 and 2020.

Other than this, young Kiaan has won over 40 trophies, 55 medals, and 125 trophies in different academic fields. The little genius has also been featured on various TV channels like News 18 India, CNN News 18, Colors TV, and many more.

An Inspiration For Children

Kiaan Sawant, by accomplishing such great things at a young age, has become an inspiration for many children who wish to make a career in the field of mathematics. He has proved that age is never a barrier if your willing power is strong enough. His mother has also played a huge role in his success as she understood his priorities and supported him in everything he wanted to do. 

We at GCPA are proud of such hard-working and passionate children like Kiaan Sawant and we wish him a great future ahead.
