First Principles IAS Is Here! | Built by Teachers, for Aspirants

CLARITY. DISCIPLINE. EXCELLENCE…A strong mantra for a UPSC journey. And when guided by experience, the path becomes more defined; the destination more visible. We are glad to share this new beginning with all the UPSC aspirants, a start close to our hearts. Introducing FIRST PRINCIPLES IAS Our Founders Rajesh Govindraj Sir An engineer driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world, with a Masters in Environmental Studies from Delhi University. Over the last decade, Rajesh has taught and mentored thousands of aspirants, both offline and online. He teaches Geography, Environment, Disaster Management and the Geography Optional for UPSC — and is known above all for Mapping. Abhishek Kumar Sir An engineer from IIT Delhi, Abhishek brings over a decade of experience teaching and mentoring UPSC aspirants in Science and Technology, Ecology and Environment, and Physics Optional. He teaches from first principles — building the science before the facts, so that aspirants from any background understand the subject rather than memorise it. Piyush Gambhir Sir A mechanical engineer now reading law, Piyush brings nearly a decade of teaching and mentoring experience in Economics for UPSC, and a genuinely interdisciplinary perspective to preparation. He follows the news closely, and his Economics is taught through it — where a budget meets policy, and policy meets the Constitution — rather than from the textbook alone.
