Adds Kush, Representing India at the International Economics Olympiad 2022 was nothing less than an honor, and I hope I’ve justified the faith placed in me. I’m extremely honoured to have been bestowed with the Gold Medal at the International Economics Olympiad 2022, hosted by China.”

Elaborates Kush, “This journey started off with a simple Google search and cold e-mail to Meccademia India, the Indian Team selectors for the IEO 2022. With multiple rounds of testing and interviews to be one of the 5 selected in the Indian team out of 5,000+ students, the journey to the Gold has been nothing short of extraordinary. Being the first team in India’s history to win 2 Gold medals at the IEO has been unreal, and an absolute privilege.”
