Anant Mudgal
Anant Mudgal represented India as a member of the six-person Indian team to the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in the years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, winning an Honourable Mention, two Bronze Medals, and a Silver Medal, respectively.
He has been the leading coach of the Indian IMO team since 2019 and is the foremost and most renowned of India’s maths olympiad trainers globally. He became the first-and-only Indian citizen to be a member of the Problem Selection Committee (PSC) of the IMO at IMO 2025 in Sunshine Coast, Australia. He has taught the top maths olympiad students of twenty countries spread across five continents
He proposed problem six at the 60th IMO held in Bath, United Kingdom — the most difficult problem on the contest. He became the only Indian to have proposed problem six at the IMO, and among only five Indian problem-proposers to the IMO in its history.
He has been on numerous olympiad committees over the years in India and the United States, including the problem-selection committee of the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad and the Indian IMO Team Selection Tests, as well as the grading and review committees for the Romanian Master’s in Mathematics Competition, the Asia Pacific Maths Olympiad, the USA Mathematical Olympiads and Team Selection Tests, and the Putnam Competition. He served as Scientific Observer A to the Indian IMO Team to IMO 2023 held in Chiba, Japan, and was a Coordinator of the IMO at IMO 2024 held in Bath, United Kingdom, and a PSC Member and Coordinator at IMO 2025 held in Sunshine Coast, Australia.
After completing his undergraduate education at the Chennai Mathematical Institute, he went on to pursue the Master of Advanced Study in Pure Mathematics — known as Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Trinity College, University of Cambridge on the Ramanujan Research Studentship — a full scholarship typically offered to only one mathematics undergraduate student in India by Trinity College to commemorate the college’s historic connection to the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
He held top-tier opportunities in academia in the United States and in the quant-trading industry in Singapore, before coming back to India to live his dream of creating the world’s best maths education ecosystem through his work at Mathelots.
