She has won the price for her amazing work in affine algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, in particular for her solution to the Zariski cancellation problem for affine spaces.

Fact Check:

After doing our fact check analysis we found out that the claim is false and misleading. Neena Gupta is the third woman to receive the Ramanujan Price. She is the fourth Indian who to receive this prestigious prize.

Sujatha Ramdorai (2006), Amalendu Krishna (2015) and Ritabrata Munshi (2018) have already been honoured with the same prize. To know more, check out the Ramanujan price winners.

The Indian Express also recently made a report where they clearly mentioned that Neena Gupta is the fourth Indian to receive this award.
