Tanishq has achieved an astonishing amount in just 19 years. He graduated high school at 10, at which point he'd already been doing college courses for 3 years. He's expecting to complete his PhD this year, in the hugely impactful field of Deep Learning in Artificial Intelligence.

But it hasn't all been easy. He's had to battle against bureaucrats in education to even have the chance to learn in the way he wants, and he's had to battle prejudice and closed minds even when he's had the opportunity to learn. 

Tanishq tells Jeremy about how, with his family's support, he has been able to achieve his dreams of becoming a medical researcher, and how he hopes to use artificial intelligence to help push the medical frontiers forward.
