Yes,you heard right First time an indian wins google kickstart. The kalesh gupta (kal013) had rank 1 at Google kickstart Round H 2021.
He is from IIT delhi,got AIR(all india rank) 3 in IIT-JEE (most prestigious exam in india) and also qualified till ACM-ICPC Finals.He is also grandmaster on this platform codeforces and 7 star on codechef.
Here is scoreboard. To be true there is close battle between kalesh gupta(kal013) and william lin (tmwilliamlin168).
The kalesh gupta finished all problems at 41:03 and william lin at 47:03.
I think this is just starting and from now indians start giving priority on CP and wins different rounds.
I want next to write blogs on 1.First time indian get rank 1 in IOI and 2. First time indian gets gold medal at ACM-ICPC.(I am also working hard just to be of part of any of them).
