Meet Aaryan Shukla – The Lightning Fast ‘Human Calculator’!
This 14-year-old math whiz from India shattered 6 world records with just his mind!
What if we told you someone could solve huge math problems faster than you can type them into a calculator? Sounds impossible, right? Well, not for Aaryan Shukla, the 14-year-old math wizard from Maharashtra, India!
Nicknamed the ‘Human Calculator’, Aaryan recently made history by breaking 6 world records in just one day — and all using only his brain!
🧠📊 Mind-Blowing Math Magic!
Last year, Aaryan shocked the world by mentally adding fifty 5-digit numbers in just 25.19 seconds on the Italian TV show Lo Show Dei Record. That’s about one giant sum every half a second! 😱
And guess what? That was just the beginning.
Recently, Aaryan flew to Dubai to take on some of the toughest mental maths challenges ever attempted. And guess what? He nailed them all!
Here’s a peek at the world records he SMASHED:
✅ Fastest time to mentally add 100 4-digit numbers – 30.9 sec
✅ Fastest time to mentally add 200 4-digit numbers – 1 min 9.68 sec
✅ Fastest time to mentally add 50 5-digit numbers – 18.71 sec
✅ Fastest time to mentally divide a 20-digit number by a 10-digit number (set of 10) – 5 min 42 sec
✅ Fastest time to mentally multiply 10 sets of 2 five-digit numbers – 51.69 sec
✅ Fastest time to mentally multiply 10 sets of 2 eight-digit numbers – 2 min 35.41 sec
That’s not just fast — that’s mind-blowing! 🤯
🏆 A Champion with a Calm Mind
We sat down with Aaryan and his proud parents for a fun chat. Curious how he does it? Aaryan says it’s all about daily practice. He trains his brain for 5 to 6 hours every day!
Sounds intense, right? But Aaryan also believes in balance.
“To keep the balance, relaxing is important. Yoga helps me stay calm and focused,” he shares.
He also loves reading adventure books, playing video games, hitting sixes in cricket, and of course — travelling the world thanks to his math magic! 🌍✈️
👶 A Superpower Discovered Early
Aaryan’s journey began when he was just 6 years old. His mom noticed that he loved numbers — not just studying them, but playing with them!
By age 8, he had already won international competitions. His parents, though amazed, say they’re a “normal family” — it’s Aaryan who’s one in a billion! ❤️
“We are a normal family… but he is gifted by destiny,” says his dad.
“He’s enjoying his journey, that is for sure.”
🎓 From Wonder Kid to World Icon
Today, Aaryan is not only a record-breaker but also a founding board member of the Global Mental Calculators Association (GMCA) — and he's just 14!
He says,
“I feel great. I’m proud that I’m Officially Amazing. [This] is a dream for me!”
And we at Bachpan Times are proud of you too, Aaryan! You’re an inspiration to children everywhere that hard work, passion, and belief can take you anywhere.
