After a very warm welcome by the anchor, Mr Gaurav Tekriwal takes the stage and asks the audience about how many of them were in school or college. After which he introduces his topic, The Great Indian Mathematicians. Mr Tekriwal talks about how he always loved reading about mathematicians and how they had an influence on the world. And after reading about almost all the prominent mathematicians around the world, Mr Tekriwal realised that Indian mathematicians weren’t really represented much in these books and records despite groundbreaking contributions. He went on Amazon to find a book that talks about Indian mathematicians and their contributions, but to his surprise, he could not find a single book.
