Kaushik Sahal’s father is an army officer currently posted in Assam sector and his mother Ruchi Kaushik is a doctor. Ms Ruchi Kaushik had left her job to groom the innate talent of her son. She identified his talent in a much earlier stage and preferred to teach at home instead of school. In the press meeting Ms Ruchi Kaushik said “ At three, he could recite multiplication tables of up to 100. I just knew he would not fit in the formal system of education.” Sahal was registered for Class IX at Vandana International School in Dwarka when he was 10.
