The Story Behind India's Most Authentic Competitive Exam Social Network

RanksApart was born from 7 years of real UPSC preparation experience and the frustration of finding authentic guidance in a sea of fake mentors. We're not just another ed-tech platform - we're a community-driven movement built by serious aspirants who understand your journey, backed by proven technology expertise from Scorpyns Technologies Private Limited.

Our StoryMeet Our Team

From Personal Struggle to Platform Solution

Every Authentic Solution Starts with Real Experience

In 2023, after years of navigating the competitive exam preparation landscape, our founders at Scorpyns Technologies Private Limited identified a critical gap that no existing platform addressed: the lack of authentic, verified connections between serious aspirants and genuine exam achievers.

The Problem We Lived:

  • 7 years of UPSC preparation showed us the isolation aspirants face

  • Fake "toppers" and unverified "experts" spreading misleading advice everywhere

  • Coaching institutes focusing on profits rather than authentic mentorship

  • Real toppers having no credible platform to give back to the community

  • Information overload without quality filtering or genuine verification

The Breakthrough Moment

Our founder Raman Sandhu, with his unique combination of clinical psychology expertise and 7 years of UPSC preparation experience, realized that successful exam preparation isn't just about study material - it's about the right mental framework, authentic guidance, and community support. Combined with Anandy Goel's analytical approach and deep understanding of research methodology, they envisioned a platform that could bridge this gap.

Our Decision

Instead of creating another paid coaching platform, we decided to build something revolutionary - a completely free social network where verified toppers could authentically connect with aspirants, share real experiences, and build a supportive community that understands the unique challenges of competitive exam preparation.
