According to a press release from Tata Consultancy Services, Kalash Gupta, a computer science and engineering student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, has been named the winner of the TCS CodeVita season 10 global coding competition, which drew over 100,000 contestants from 87 countries (TCS).
CodeVita is the world’s largest computer programming competition, according to Guinness World Records. Chile and Taiwan were the contest’s first and second runners-up, respectively.
Rangan Banerjee, the director of IIT Delhi, congratulated Gupta after his victory.
“I never expected to be in the top three when I started the challenge, but it’s been a very humbling experience.” The reward money ($10,000) excites me greatly. I wasn’t sure at first because the first problem took longer than I anticipated. But as I continued, solving some of the other questions, I developed more confidence in my final standing, and I knew I’d be in the top three,” Gupta said on Friday.
CodeVita advocates programming as a sport, encouraging players to compete in real-world problems and put their talents against one another.
