Kiran Kulkarni has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.53, set at Tesseract Open 2019, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 756th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since February 2017, he has put 186 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 26.16 in February 2017 to 12.20, a 53% improvement. Kiran 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.
