What a SPECTACULAR cracker a of an afternoon it was. aQuest 2020 was fun, it was lively, it was thrilling. There were songs, there was gully boy rap, there was entertainment in true Shahriyar Atai style! If you weren't there you missed so much. We’re sharing every moment from the afternoon. Inspiration for you to get cracking on aQuest 2021!!

Thank you, Ramesh Karthick. You are a true Allstar. Well played. Welcome to the elite squad!

Meet Jay Gordhanbhai Vaghela, our first finalist from the Chandigarh semis at aQuest 2020. A final year student of Mechanical Engineering, Jay is a lifelong Amdavadi who loves Thermodynamics and Mathematics.

After early schooling in Democratic School, Jay moved to Jay Somnath School in Maninagar for his Class XII, continuing his lifelong loyalty to Ahmedabad. With two older siblings - a brother and a sister, we won't believe Jay if he says he's not spoilt royally at home.

Jay loves reading comic books. A true democrat, he devours both Marvel and DC comics with equal diligence. He also loves story books, especially Vikram and Vetaal. When not reading comics, Jay spends his time playing games across platforms, exploring memes on Facebook and solving maths and science equations while watching videos on maths and science.

After graduation, Jay wants to work in a field where he can learn more about engineering while also being involved in research.

Being a finalist in aQuest 2020 has made Jay more self-confident and happy. He is encouraged by the fact that his friends and family are proud of him too. If he wins, he has definite plans to treat his friends and teachers.

He loves aQuest especially because he had never travelled outside Gujarat before but aQuest 2020 took him to Mumbai and Chandigarh and is now transporting him to Delhi. He is absolutely sure the finals will be a wonderful experience and can't wait for the first buzzer to ring.
