One of the most difficult and esteemed examinations in the nation is the UPSC Civil Services Examination. For many years, getting ready required moving to places like Delhi, going to classes in person, and spending a significant amount of time and money. However, that has now changed because of the internet and forward-thinking educators.
In this report, we showcase six legendary UPSC educators who changed the way candidates learn, get ready, and succeed by creating enormous digital-first education brands in addition to teaching.
Roman Saini is a 2014 batch IAS officer and former AIIMS physician. However, at the age of 22, he left his position in the civil service to co-found Unacademy, which is currently among the largest edtech companies in India.
Roman developed a personal brand centered on free, excellent, concept-based learning, beginning with straightforward YouTube explainer videos on challenging UPSC subjects. After that, he ventured into Unacademy, a website with thousands of UPSC video lessons taught by leading instructors.
Impact of Digital Brand: The platform is used by more than 50 million students and more than 1 million UPSC candidates.
“If a village student with a smartphone can get access to the same education as a Delhi aspirant, that’s real impact.” – Roman Saini
