He did his schooling with Saint Anne"s High School, Orlem Malad.
During his early college life, he came across Vedic Mathematics, a set of techniques designed by an ancient Indian spiritual guru. The techniques helped him calculate complex mathematical calculations with ease.
Fascinated by these he started spreading them amongst his teachers and colleagues, but he met with skepticism. To overcome this, he began conducting workshops and seminars in schools and colleges and they proved to be popular
During one such training session, a senior journalist from India"s reputed The Times of India happened to witness how Dhaval could remember the entire calendar of 100 years in 5 minutes and how he could accurately remember the names and phone numbers of all the three hundred odd people present in the auditorium.
The very next day, the newspaper carried an article branding him as a WHIZ KID. What followed was tremendous media and industry attention.
He was then reckoned as a Mathematical Genius and a Wizard with numbers and memory. In the years to follow, Dhaval"s techniques have been implemented by over a million students in India, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, United States, United Kingdom, Mauritius, Nepal, Oman, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and other countries. Dhaval currently holds the Guinness World Record for teaching "how to memorize vocabulary words" to maximum number of students.
He has written five books:
