Racing Against a Calculator | J. Neelakantha Bhanu Prakash | TEDxIMTDubai

Leaving the audience in awe, Bhanu Prakash displayed his talent on multiple levels.

He helps others seek out their talent by conducting courses and training sessions in learning institutes in India. Discovering his own talent by circumstance, so to say, while recovering from a harsh accident, and having to recuperate at home, he would count sheep to try and sleep, and there the magic was discovered.

Outdoing Excel Sheets, and solving complex mathematical computations may seem like a daunting task to some but not to this seventeen-year-old. By the age of fourteen, he had already broken 28 Limca Book records, 21 in one day, in Mental Maths. Winning the Indian Abacus championship twice and the international championship once, he is a testament to what one can achieve through sheer hard work and effort.
