Also known as the 'human computer', the renowned Shakuntala Devi astounded the world with her jaw-dropping calculation skills. She traveled the world demonstrating her arithmetic talents and solved big complicated arithmetic calculations before the problem could even be noted down in a notebook!

Last year, 2019 also saw the release of a film titled 'Super 30' which was based on the life of Indian Mathematics educator Anand Kumar where Hrithik Roshan played his character and it was a hit all across, also doing splendidly well commercially. And, to our utter joy, this year we have Shakuntala Devi's story being told. Recently, Super 30 celebrated its one year anniversary and, it is great to see another unsung hero and educator being recognised through mainstream cinema.
