Sayantan Das became India's 81st GM after beating the opposition at the International Festival des Jeux in Cannes, France.
Das entered the A Group of the tournament as an IM, chasing the 24 FIDE Elo points that would bring him to the 2500 mark and grant him the title of India's newest grandmaster.
Vignesh N R is India's 80th and first Grandmaster brothers with Visakh.
In March last year, Gukesh became only the sixth Indian to break the 2700 Elo-rating mark, and the youngest Grandmaster from the country to be rated above 2700.
