In 2016, they'd laugh at preparing without coaching
In 2020, they'd laugh at studying from YouTube
In 22, they'd laugh at taking classes on a phone
In 2026, they're laughing at aspirants preparing with:

Dark chocolate demand increased 45% in one year, 3.8x faster than normal chocolate driven largely by Q-Comm.
It also, tells us 3 structural Economy lessons to note
1.Solving the "Last-Mile Distribution" bottleneck
Q-comm overcome local kirana shelf limitations by delivering them on demand.
2.The K-Shaped Consumption Pattern
Rising urban disposable incomes drive 87% of premium (chocolate) buys, leaving rural markets behind due to price and access.
3.Food Proccesing Potential
Indians eat just 200g of chocolate a year versus 10kg in the UK, it shows huge potential for food processing industries.
Two future AIR 1 toppers. Two very different starts.
Anudeep Durishetty took UPSC 5 times. In one attempt he put in the most hours of his life and got his worst Mains marks. His own words: 565 in total, way behind the cutoff.
Kanishak Kataria got AIR 1 in his first attempt. His method: map previous year questions to keywords, topic by topic.
Both topped. One needed 5 attempts.
The only difference? ⬇️
Hours without feedback don't tell you if you're preparing for the right exam.
PYQs tell you what UPSC actually asks:
- which themes keep coming back
- how conceptual the options are
- how a question is framed
Anudeep has written that his turning point was admitting where his answers fell short, then practising writing and mocks. Kanishak's notes show him tying each topic back to past questions.
Here's the 4-step playbook: 🧵
1. 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 10 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗬𝗤𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸.
Score low on purpose. The score is not the point. The map is.
2. 𝗧𝗮𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰.
Kanishak's approach: map PYQs to keywords. You'll see the same ideas repeat in different clothes.
3. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗮𝗽𝘀.
Not from the whole book. From what you got wrong and why.
4. 𝗥𝗲-𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Prelims: re-attempt the same PYQs. Mains: write answers to old questions and compare with your notes.
Read less. Solve more. Then read again.
In News: NEPAL became the FIRST beneficiary of Fund for responding to Loss and Damages (FRLD)
FLRD was created in 2022 at COP 27 (Egypt)
But, there's no point in remembering this if we don't use this information to revise our syllabus. Let's connect it to static part:
1. What is COP?
Conference of the Parties (COP) is an yearly formal meeting of UNFCCC parties.
2. Now, What is UNFCCC?
It is an international treaty among countries to combat climate change with principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities"
3. When and where was UNFCCC established?
At Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 1992. Popularly known was "Earth Summit"
4. Any COP in India?
Yes. COP 8 was held in New Delhi, in 2002.
5. Which is the upcoming COP?
COP 31 will be held in November in Antalya, Turkey.
Every current affair has a static connection.

India and the US cooperate on defence, technology and security. Yet, their economic interests don't always align.
India wants better access to the US market. The US wants greater access to India's market.
Both have something to gain, but also domestic interests to protect.
The real challenge is understanding why👇
Take the ongoing trade negotiations.
Rather than simply tracking tariff announcements, look at what's driving them. India's concerns around farmers, exporters and domestic industries don't always match US demands on market access.
And there's a wider dimension: India's energy ties with Russia and its strategic partnership with the US.
The countries are partners. Their interests don't always overlap.
If you only follow the headlines, you miss the reasoning behind the negotiations.
5 micro shifts to bridge that gap 👇🏻
1. Look past the headline
When reading the news, don't just note what happened. Ask what each country wants, where their interests clash, and what happens next.
2. Functional notes
Don't collect facts for the sake of it. Note the interests, concerns and possible consequences behind each decision.
3. Map after reading
Connect the negotiations to India's Russian oil imports, domestic industry, US trade policy and the wider bilateral relationship.
4. Trade-offs, not just tariffs
Ask what each side may have to compromise on, and how those compromises could affect businesses, consumers and diplomatic ties.
5. Systems over chapters
Link the issue to strategic autonomy, protectionism, WTO principles and India's place in the global economy.
You don't need to memorise every headline. You need to understand what connects them.
International Relations rewards the mind that sees connections.
What AI Creator Fellowship has given to our is not just jobs
It’s the confidence that you can win big in life even beyond UPSC or while preparing on the side with prep
If you want to upskill and make 15-25k per month on side with upsc prep, you MUST join 8 weeks of ai creator fellowship :)
26-29 is the age where you realize that UPSC prep is not a linear trajectory
Some of your friends will be settling into jobs and probably getting married, doing way better than they were a couple years back
Others who were doing great would be in a weird phase rewriting prelims, sitting with the same notes in the same room for upsc
Feeling behind is normal here, staying distracted is optional
So cut the noise, give this attempt your full focus, and go crack it
Selection is possible, and it starts the day you decide this one counts! Stuck or need help? DM me.
