India Wins Big at EGMO 2025 with 4 Medals
A Milestone Moment for Indian Girls in Global Mathematics
India’s young mathematical minds have made the nation proud with an outstanding performance at the 14th European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) 2025. Competing against participants from nearly 60 countries, the Indian team clinched two silver and two bronze medals, finishing 12th overall in the global rankings.
Meet the Medalists
The four-member team that represented India brought home four well-earned medals:
- Shreya Mundhada, 15, from Mumbai – Silver Medal
- Sanjana Chacko, 16, from Kerala – Silver Medal
- Saee Patil, 18, from Pune – Bronze Medal
- Shreya Gupta, 18, from Kolkata – Bronze Medal
These students demonstrated remarkable skill in solving complex mathematical problems that tested their logical reasoning, creativity, and precision.
Road to Victory: Rigorous Selection and Training
The journey to EGMO is a rigorous one. Students begin by qualifying through national-level mathematics contests, including regional and national Olympiads. The final four are selected after months of evaluations and then undergo intensive training camps designed to sharpen their problem-solving skills and familiarize them with the international Olympiad format.
Each participant brought her own learning style and strategy to the table. Silver medallist Sanjana Chacko noted how individualized learning approaches helped them excel. “We all had different ways of thinking, and that’s what made our team strong,” she shared.
Inspiring a Generation of Girls in STEM
This success is more than just a medal tally—it’s a powerful statement about the growing presence and potential of Indian girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Their achievement is set to inspire more young girls across the country to explore and pursue excellence in these fields.
The performance at EGMO 2025 stands as a testament to India’s commitment to nurturing young talent and creating platforms that allow students to compete and shine at the global level.
