Absolutely remarkable

All five Indian students who participated in the 56th International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2026 in Colombia, won Gold!
Placing India joint #1 in the world alongside China, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan, among 381 students from 87 countries.

The champions:
Kanishk Jain — Pune
Riddhesh Anant Bendale — Indore
Rishit Garg — New Delhi
Shresth Suraiya — Mumbai
Svarit Joshi — Ahmedabad

And this comes without the kind of vast, state-organised apparatus that some countries deploy to nurture Olympiad talent.

We’re fortunate to have the dedication of the scientists, teachers and mentors at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, who have built a world-class Olympiad programme with only modest resources.

But, at the end of the day, the driving force is the raw talent, curiosity & hunger to succeed of these remarkable young minds.

I want to say thank you to these Olympians & to everyone who has helped shape their journey for making me so optimistic about India’s future.

They’re my #MondayMotivation

An outstanding performance by our youngsters!

Congratulations to the Indian contingent of Kanishk Jain, Riddhesh Anant Bendale, Rishit Garg, Shresth Suraiya and Svarit Joshi for winning Gold Medals at the 56th International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2026 held in Bucaramanga, Colombia.

Their feat reflects yet another example of the limitless potential of our Yuva Shakti and their passion towards science and research. Equally commendable is the fact that in the last decade, our students have performed exceptionally well in the various editions of this platform.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.

This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.

Let me tell you what actually happened.

The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.

381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.

India sent five kids.

All five came back with gold.

Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.

We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)

That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.

Now here is what the exam actually was.

Two papers. Each five hours long.

The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.

The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.

That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.

Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.

HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.

Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.

Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.

In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.

Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.

Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.

So who built this.

The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.

They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.

The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.

The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.

Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.

This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.

The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.

That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.

But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.

That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.

So yes, be proud. Loudly.

HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.

But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.

I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.

But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.

Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

AI re-imagined rocket engines. They turned out like those depicted in Vaimanika Shastra.

Which are ridiculed and written off as designed "not even close to a rocket engine" without any testing or scientific research required to disprove them.

Remember, epistemology says science is created by disproving hypothesis. Someone simply ridiculing and writing off anything as stupid or superstitious without testing it makes them highly unscientific.

Andrej Karpathy could have charged $10,000 for this course.

He put it on YouTube.

The man who built Tesla Autopilot from scratch.
Co-founded OpenAI.
Understands AI at a level most engineers at Google and Meta never reach.

Sat down. Recorded 2 hours. No frameworks. No libraries. No shortcuts.

Then dropped it for free.

The gap between people who watch it this week and those who save it for later is not 2 hours.

It is everything those 2 hours quietly unlock for the rest of your career.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture that shows exactly how Stanford trains its engineers to build AI systems.

It’s more practical than every Claude tutorial and prompting thread you’ve seen.
