I’m Aarav Mukesh Srivastava, a 12-year-old student born on 8 October 2012, currently studying in Grade 8K at New Horizon Scholars School, Kavesar, Thane. I have consistently pursued academic excellence and balanced it with a wide range of extracurricular interests. My top academic subjects are Mathematics, English, and Science, which I enjoy deeply due to the challenge and satisfaction of scoring high.
My hobbies stretch far beyond academics. I actively play football, basketball, table tennis, and golf. I also enjoy strategic mobile games like Call of Duty. Outside physical sports and gaming, I’m passionate about cooking and have recently started experimenting in the kitchen. I also like to dive into new knowledge areas—gathering facts and understanding concepts that catch my interest.
I participate in nearly every competition offered at school. Though athletics hasn’t been my strongest field, I have succeeded consistently in intellectual and creative contests—debate, mathematics competitions, elocution, and story writing being my strongholds. Among my biggest achievements is scoring an aggregate of 94% in the Grade 6 PA2 examinations, which reflected both my academic consistency and discipline. Another proud milestone was securing a Gold Medal in the SOF IGKO (International General Knowledge Olympiad) during Class 7, a testament to my wide-ranging awareness and aptitude in current affairs and general knowledge.
Over the years, I’ve earned around 16 gold medals and several silver and bronze awards across academics, sports, and extracurricular activities. I’ve also held leadership roles—being appointed as class monitor in nearly every class except Grade 5, a reflection of the trust my teachers place in me.
I love solving technical issues on my devices, which led me to explore programming. I’ve gained a basic understanding of HTML and Python and can interpret and modify simple code. I’ve even created my own programming language called AITB, capable of executing basic operations—this gave me a deeper appreciation for language design and logic structuring.
I’ve built several basic websites for my family and myself, applying HTML skills in practical ways. I’m also part of a collaborative YouTube effort with my brother where we experiment with content creation. My personal channel exists, but we primarily focus on the one we run together. I also maintain an Instagram profile, @gamerzx_official, which has a modest following of 35 as of June 2025.
My ambition is to become a neurosurgeon. I aim to study at AIIMS, India’s top medical institution, and later plan to work in Dubai. This goal stems from my interest in science and human biology, as well as my desire to make a meaningful impact in the medical field. I admire my parents for the resilience and effort they’ve shown in building our life—watching them face challenges has taught me the importance of persistence and humility.
I try to be calm under pressure and maintain a chill, balanced attitude. I use academic strategies like making schedules, starting exam prep early, and solving worksheets to perform well consistently. If friends need help with studies, I offer explanations or hints to help them find the solution themselves. I believe in lifting others up while continuing to grow myself.
