India's #1 AI-Powered UPSC PlatformOur Story
Built by an Aspirant,
for Every Aspirant
RiseWithJeet was born from a deep love for governance, a fascination with public service, and one IIT engineer who believed every aspirant deserves a fair shot, regardless of geography or income.
February 2025 – The Beginning
How a YouTube channel
became a movement
In February 2025, Abhijeet Soni, an IIT Kharagpur alumnus and AI Data Scientist, started something deceptively simple: a free YouTube channel about UPSC. No institute backing. No coaching brand. Just comprehensive content, honest teaching, and a genuine belief that every aspirant deserved better than scattered PDFs and inaccessible classroom coaching.
The channel spread fast. His style was different. Complex topics simplified without dumbing them down, methods that actually work, and an energy that felt less like a lecture and more like a conversation with someone who genuinely cared. His video on remembering all 108 National Parks in just 20 minutes became a UPSC community favourite, the kind of content that travels through Telegram groups at midnight with a simple message: "bhai ye dekh le ho jayega."
A Telegram community formed naturally. Aspirants started sharing notes, clearing doubts, reviewing each other's answers. Within weeks, thousands of students had joined, not because they were marketed to, but because the content was genuinely useful and the community felt real.
"The exam doesn't just test what you know. It tests how clearly you think, how fairly you analyse, and whether you're ready to serve. You can't prepare for that with a PDF alone."
But as the community grew, Abhijeet saw a structural problem no YouTube channel alone could fix: the quality of UPSC preparation in India is still largely determined by where you live and what you can afford. A student in a small town in Bihar or Andhra Pradesh was starting from a fundamentally different position than one in South Delhi. Same ambition, wildly unequal access.
He knew AI could change that equation. But he also knew that AI alone, without deep UPSC domain knowledge and genuine mentorship, would miss everything the exam really demands. So he decided to build both. AI for speed. Humanized experience for depth. Community for the accountability that turns good intentions into daily habits.
One more thing has guided every decision from the very beginning: radical transparency on pricing. Running this platform, data storage, AI model training on UPSC-specific content, evaluation engines, infrastructure, it all costs real money. RiseWithJeet will only ever charge what it genuinely takes to run and improve this platform. Not a rupee more. That promise is non-negotiable.
"Every year, over 10 lakh aspirants appear for UPSC. Only a fraction clear it. Most of those who don't aren't failing because they lack intelligence or dedication. They're failing because they don't have access to the right feedback, the right structure, and the right community at the right time. That's not a talent problem. That's an access problem, and access problems are exactly what technology exists to solve."
Abhijeet Soni, Founder and CEO, RiseWithJeet
Why We Exist
The UPSC preparation system was broken for most aspirants
Traditional coaching worked well if you lived near a major city and had ₹2-3 lakh to spare. For everyone else, preparation was an uphill battle fought with unequal tools.
We set out to fix the four deepest structural failures, not with incremental tweaks, but by rethinking the entire approach from first principles.
Answer feedback came days later, or never
Most aspirants write answers and get no structured feedback. At best, they wait 7 to 10 days. Jeet AI evaluates in 60 seconds with UPSC examiner-level detail across 8 parameters, content, structure, analysis, examples, and more.
Quality preparation was simply unaffordable
Top coaching institutes charged amounts equalling a year's salary for many families. A student from a small town had to either relocate to Delhi or give up on structured preparation entirely. We believe that gap should not exist.
Geography decided your access to mentorship
If you weren't in a metro, personalised mentorship was simply out of reach. We built Mentorship Pro to connect aspirants across India directly with experts, weekly 1-on-1 sessions, personalised roadmaps, entirely remote.
No one told you where you actually stood
Most aspirants prepare for years without ever knowing their real strengths or weaknesses. Our adaptive engine tracks performance across topics and adjusts recommendations accordingly.
Our Mission
To democratise UPSC preparation for every aspirant in India, regardless of geography, language, or financial background.
We believe the quality of your civil services preparation should never be determined by your postcode or your parents' income. With AI and the right mentorship, we level the playing field.
What Drives Us
The principles we build
every feature around
01
Outcome-obsessed
Every feature is evaluated on one question: does it improve how aspirants prepare and perform? We don't build for vanity metrics. We build for results. If a feature doesn't move the needle for an aspirant, it doesn't ship.
02
AI-first, human-always
AI brings speed, 60-second mains evaluation, adaptive test generation, instant feedback. But UPSC demands judgment, not just knowledge. That's why every AI feature is grounded in deep, authentic UPSC domain understanding.
03
India-first by design
We build for the aspirant in Ranchi, Muzaffarpur, and Jalgaon, not just Rajendra Nagar. That means low-bandwidth compatibility, Hindi support, content grounded in India's Constitution and current affairs, and pricing that respects what it means to a family.
04
Evidence, not instinct
Our adaptive test engine doesn't guess your weak areas, it calculates them from your actual response data. Our readiness score updates daily from real performance. Every recommendation is earned, not assumed.
05
Community over competition
UPSC is typically a solo journey. We disagree. Our live study rooms, peer review system, and leaderboards are built on the belief that aspirants who hold each other accountable clear the exam together. Alone we can do so little; together we rise so much higher.
06
Radically transparent pricing
Data storage, AI model training on UPSC-specific content, infrastructure, it all has real costs. We will only ever charge what it takes to keep this platform running and make it better. Not a rupee more. This is written into our DNA.
One year.
One mission. Built with love.
Everything you see today, the platform, the community, the AI tools, was built in under a year, from zero, by people who genuinely believe every aspirant deserves a fair shot.
February 2025
The YouTube channel goes live
Abhijeet publishes the first RiseWithJeet video. The premise is simple: high-quality UPSC content, completely free, for anyone with an internet connection. No paid courses locked behind a wall. No institute affiliation. Just clear, honest teaching for aspirants who deserve better. The early videos gain traction quickly, students bookmark them, come back to them, share them in groups. Something about the teaching style clicks.
▶️The sparkMarch – April 2025
"108 National Parks in 20 minutes", the video that spread everywhere
One video changes the trajectory of the channel. Abhijeet demonstrates how to memorise all 108 National Parks of India in under 20 minutes using structured mnemonics, a topic most aspirants dread. The video travels across Telegram groups, study circles, and classroom chats. It crosses hundreds of thousands of views. Students who had never heard of RiseWithJeet start subscribing. For the first time, the community feels a real energy shift, this isn't just another YouTube channel.
🔥Viral momentMid 2025
A Telegram community forms, and becomes something real
A Telegram group starts as a simple extension of the channel, a place to ask questions and share notes. Within weeks, it crosses 5,000 members. Abhijeet shows up daily: answering doubts, reviewing answer scripts with personal feedback, holding late-night doubt sessions. What begins as a study group starts to feel like a movement. Students from small towns across India, many without access to quality coaching, find a space where someone actually responds when they ask for help.
📱Community growsLate 2025
The insight that changes everything: a channel isn't enough
As the community grows, one pattern becomes impossible to ignore. Aspirants aren't failing from lack of dedication, they're failing from lack of the right feedback, the right structure, and consistent accountability. A YouTube video can inspire. But it can't tell you why your answer scored 5/10 instead of 8/10. It can't adapt to your weaknesses. It can't keep you on track on the days motivation runs out. Abhijeet realises that to truly change outcomes, not just views, the platform needs to go much deeper. He begins building.
