“I always believe that Mentorship is something every individual needs in their life.

My name is Vishnu Vardhan, I am 37 years old. As a child, it was a task for me and my classmates to go to school daily because the area surrounding my village was Hotspots for Naxalism during the 90s. But I never lost the courage and completed my schooling. I then moved to Warangal to pursue my Higher education. While I was doing my Mtech in Hyderabad, I simultaneously prepared for UPSC exams. During the same phase, I wrote a Bank exam and got a Job in Canara Bank from the Central Government. I was excited but my aim was always to Crack UPSC and become an IAS.

Subsequently, I continued my job and used to teach, mathematics and anthropology during my leisure time. Teaching was always my Passion. This became my passion. I had attended the UPSC interviews four times but lost with marginal marks of 4 and 2 one time. That’s when I understood that Mentoring is very important for anyone in life. Ever since I have decided to mentor aspiring candidates in every aspect of their UPSC preparations.

In the year 2017, I started my own Coaching Academy leaving my bank job even after I got a Promotion. We train the aspiring candidates and give them the best training possible to crack the civil services exams. In my academy, I also take students based on Scholarships, mostly from a poor backgrounds who cannot afford the fees. We provide them with free training.

I intend to continue my academy and I am extremely glad that my students are doing well in their careers serving the nation.”
