Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has applauded renowned mathematician and Super 30 founder Anand Kumar for launching Super Infinity, an online initiative aimed at making quality education accessible to an unlimited number of students aspiring to crack the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).
Today, your encouragement for Super Infinity gives me even more strength to take my dream of making mathematics joyful and accessible to every child across the world forward. By taking the initiative online, Kumar aims to reach students beyond the limited number of seats available under the original programme. Congratulating Kumar on the initiative, Roshan wrote on social media, “Congratulations on yet another brilliant initiative with Super Infinity, Anand sir! Only you can make studying so much fun! Anand sir, take a bow. Lots of love and gratitude,” Kumar wrote. The film depicts his efforts to prepare underprivileged students for the IIT entrance examinations. A post shared by Hrithik Roshan (@hrithikroshan) He also recalled receiving widespread attention after being conferred the Padma Shri, saying the growing number of students seeking admission made him consider taking the programme online. “I received many awards; especially after the Padma Shri award, just don’t ask, so many people came, a massive crowd gathered, and everyone wanted to study. He explained that Super Infinity now teaches students online, with an emphasis on making mathematics engaging and helping them overcome their fear of the subject. Explaining his approach to making mathematics enjoyable, Kumar encouraged students to think through problems rather than immediately reaching for a pen and paper. The programme provides selected students with free coaching, accommodation, and food. Over the years, it has helped students from financially disadvantaged families gain admission to the IITs and pursue careers in technology and other fields.
Super Infinity is an extension of Kumar’s Super 30 programme, which prepares 30 meritorious students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

Kumar added that the response grew significantly after the release of Super 30, the Hrithik Roshan-starrer film based on his life and work.

It identifies 30 meritorious students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and prepares them for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
He said Roshan’s encouragement for Super Infinity had given him renewed strength to pursue his dream of making mathematics enjoyable and accessible to children across the world. He said the programme initially focused on children who lacked resources and facilities but had talent and a strong desire to study. “Later, when the Super 30 film came out and became a super-duper hit, then don’t even ask, I was unable to control the crowd, as so many children wanted to study from Anand Kumar,” he said. Kumar said. “We are trying to teach in such a way that children’s minds have started engaging in mathematics, the fear they had toward mathematics is going away, and children are feeling just like they felt watching the Super 30 film,” he said.
