Ananya Gupta has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.40, set at Great Indian Cubeathon 2016, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 637th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2015, he has put 153 official solves on the record across five events.

Ananya has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
