Roshni Mukherjee , She was a most sought of teacher for her friends in school to get doubts clarified; she also wanted to improvise on existing teaching methods that are either of poor quality or unaffordable to the mass population of the nation. Quality with affordability prompted her to float her venture www.examfear.com quitting lucrative corporate jobs.
Roshni was born in a Bengali middle-class family.She excelled in academics throughout her academics and was Science Merit scholarship holder in her M. Sc (Master of Science). Being a meritorious student at College naturally was handpicked by Wipro Technologies in placement interview, and she served there for nearly three years. Later she got the opportunity to work for Hewlett Packard (HP) as Senior Quality Analyst for three years. By 2014 she decided to pursue her passion for teaching (which was a part time activity since her days at Wipro) in full time and resigned to be a mentor for thousands of students online through YouTube Videos in her channel examfear.com.
Roshni had a teacher within her from her college days. Her peers praised her for making their life simple in understanding toughest concepts in college. This gave a boost to her inner self to do teaching as a hobby. Being a topper naturally got her into the corporate world. But being in corporate didn't stop her from practicing teaching since her days at Wipro her weekend activity was not to only to have fun outing but prepare videos for classes 6th to 12th and upload them to YouTube. She was clear in her objective that providing quality education at affordable pricing (in fact free of cost) to Indian children in the remotest part of the nation is possible online and the Internet is the weapon of transformation. Roshni always emphasizes the fact that the Internet can break all the barriers of caste, creed, religion, and place to reach every child of this nation. Thus a free education portal examfear.com was born and today grew up to have more than 4500 video lessons currently on Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology for Class 6 to 12. In recent past, it has been a favorite channel for many aspirants of medical exams through NEET exams also.
Roshni throughout her career believed in the quote "Work Hard in Silence and Let Success Make the Noise." She opines that time management was an uphill task for her as a freelancer in her initial days where she had to burn midnight candle to make videos and sacrifice her weekend fun to be up to date in preparing video tutorials. She agrees that resigning from the corporate world and taking up the passion in full time eased out her pressure and also expresses gratitude to her husband Gopal Agarwal, for supporting her morally.
Roshni always emphasizes that Online learning can be a supplement to conventional brick and mortar schools and should not be treated as a threat to the existing system. She urges schools to adopt this teaching method to facilitate better learning experience among children as it provides a platform for self-paced learning which is an impossible task in one-to many styled classroom teaching scenarios. Also, online learning helps the current generation tech-savvy kids to be up to date with learning.
