Our Guest: Divesh Shah

Divesh Shah, the founder of MathVision located in Singapore. Mathvision is a group of teachers committed to serving as a support system for students. 

Divesh, on September 7th, 1998, hit the city of Mumbai with his Math Show. What began as a modest attempt to reinvigorate the popularity of Math, eventually became the first of his four hundred shows around the globe. 

This in turn paved the way for him to start the Puzzle Show, another offshoot of his love for Mathematics. Backed further on by popular demand, he set up the Sudoku Show, designed to break down the complex single digit Sudoku’s, further building on his base of mathematic enthusiasts. Fast calculations were only one of the many aspects of this romance – his heart was set on reviving the waning love for numbers. Displaying to mathematical agnostics the magical relationships between numbers and inspiring in them his degree of enthusiasm towards the subject, gradually led the way for him to eventually set up Math Vision.
