Yes,you heard right First time an indian wins google kickstart. The Kalash 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 Kalash Gupta(kal013) and William Lin (tmwilliamlin168).
The Kalash 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).
