In 2012 he took voluntary retirement from the service and decided to build a platform that could help train aspirants appearing for the CSE. It took him four years to get things going and, in 2017, he launched the online portal and app offering content for aspirants.
"Having started this online model in 2017, as of today, we have more than 47,000 students who have signed up on our website and 12,000 paid subscribers. We also have 23 employees with us, many of whom are IAS and IPS officers themselves. We have had one batch appear for the 2018 UPSC examination and in that 9 of our students managed to clear it."
One of the reasons he decided to take voluntary retirement and work in the educational space was to be able to help students who could not reap the benefits of coaching institutes as they had become money-minting places. "During the time I was preparing for the examination, the entire commercialisation of it had not reached such heights. This commercialisation has prevented good talent from coming into the system, and I wished to address this loophole."
Aspirants can either choose to view the videos online or download them and view them offline, while using the app. Respective faculty members or the administrative staff answers all queries that the aspirants leave on the website.
