Life and career

Early life

K. Visalini was born in Tirunelveli, in Tamil Nadu, India, in 2000.[9] Her father worked as an electrician and her mother worked as an announcer with All India Radio. Visalini was born with ankyloglossia. During her mother Ragamaliga's preparations for the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission exams, her mother would often recite questions from the syllabus and their accompanying answers in the hopes that it would ameliorate Visalini's condition by encouraging echolalia.[1]

Education

During her schooling, Visalini was double promoted twice. In lieu of continuing her ninth-grade education, she accepted an admission as an exceptional candidate into the B.Tech program at the Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education. She participated in an accelerated program, allowing her to complete the undergraduate engineering program in three years as opposed to four. Visalini secured an aggregate GPA of 9.6 out of 10 with honors.[9]
