When I was a student and had just entered Class 11, my dream was to score excellent marks and enter one of the best engineering colleges in the state. To do the same, I diligently joined tuitions, which was the biggest mistake of my life. My life became an endless sprint, running from one class to another the entire day to attend all kinds of different tuition’s.

Moreover, the huge sizes of the batches left me dazed, where many of my doubts were left unclear. Add to this the huge amount I’d paid as fees, and I felt that all I’d done had gone down the drain. It was after finishing Class 12th that the idea of Simplelecture.com germinated in my mind, towards which I began working after engineering and MBA. The aim was to create a one-stop solution for all the educational needs of the students. I shared this idea and passion of mine with eminent educationist Dr. Suresh Nagpal. The concept more than resonated with him and he whole heartedly backed the idea and the venture.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Instead, compare yourself to what you were yesterday. That is a sure-shot mantra towards bettering yourself.

For me, every day is a challenging day,but the major challenge I faced was while building a dedicated team and setting up the studio within budget. As for the website, the aim was to make our lectures simple and easily understandable as per the understanding ability of the students.

We realized that every problem had a solution. In our case, we were able to find the solution by understanding the needs of people from different domains and by surveying more than 100 students to understand their needs in a better way.

SimpleLectureis a family-and-friends venture and has not taken any investment from third parties.

As I said earlier, building a dedicated team took time, and that is what has paid off – it is our biggest strength. We deal with all the problems as a family and every team member contributes to and carries the spirit of ownership.

One tip to success:

Passion goes a long way in ensuring your and your idea’s success, so be passionate in whatever you do.

One mistake you believe every individual must avoid:

Comparison is mankind’s biggest bane and one should stop comparing themselves with others. Everyone is unique in their own way.

One most important lesson that you have learnt till now:

Believe in yourself.

The next step is to make Simple Lecture a one stop solution for all levels of education, whether it is academic exams or competitive ones.

I believe that life never gives a second chance. Still, if I do get it, I will select the same path that I embarked upon, albeit a little earlier.
