India Shines at IOAI 2026!

August 12, 2026

Launched in 2024 by ACM India, in partnership with ACM IKDD and IIIT Hyderabad, the Indian National AI Olympiad (INAIO) aims to nurture young AI talent across the country. In just our second year of participation at the International Olympiad in AI (IOAI), Team India competed against 440 students from 100 countries and brought home 7 medals and an Honourable Mention!

Gold: Samik Goyal

Silver: Soham Sen, Arjun Tyagi, Chintan Bhat, Roumak Das, Savyasachi Singh

Bronze: Aadvik Jain

Honourable Mention: Varun Sharma

What makes these results even more remarkable is that they build on India’s strong debut at IOAI in 2025. In just our second year of participation, India has demonstrated that our success is not a one‑time achievement—we are steadily building a pipeline of young talent capable of competing with the very best in the world.

Special thanks to Team Leads Srujana Merugu, Vikas Raykar, the training camp instructors, volunteers, and IOAITC'25 alumni for their mentorship and for the countless hours invested in preparing the students for the Olympiad. We gratefully acknowledge the generous support from our sponsor, Emergence AI, and the tireless efforts of instructors and volunteers who continue to build and grow this initiative.

Two years. Two outstanding performances. And a growing generation of young Indians ready to shape the future of AI.
