About Vidit Gujrathi
Vidit Gujrathi is one of those chess players who spoke with their actions louder than words ever could. Reserved, introspective, and razor-tongued on the board, he has been charting the destiny of Indian chess since he was eight years old. Growing up in Nashik, Maharashtra, Vidit stumbled upon chess as a post-school recreational activity, but it didn't remain so for very long. In a matter of a few years, he was playing on the international circuit. In 2008, he became the first Indian to win the World Youth Under-14 Championship.
By 18, he had attained the rank of Grandmaster, and since then, Vidit's has been a path of consistent brilliance. Whether he is taking the Tata Steel Challengers or spearheading Team India to victory in the Online Olympiad, he exudes a sense of calm concentration that separates him from the pack. Reckoned for his thorough preparation and aplomb in the face of pressure, he is today one of the most well-known and respected names in international chess.
But Vidit is not only an elite player, he is a storyteller, a mentor, and a voice that speaks to young fans and professional players alike. Through his online content and appearances in public, he continues to lead a new generation to think, play, and grow with purpose.
