Success Story: Today, every student preparing for competitive exams knows this teacher. He is considered India’s richest teacher. The teacher who once failed the IIT-JEE exam is now teaching lakhs of students. Yes, we are talking about Physics Wallah founder Alakh Pandey, who single-handedly built a company valued at Rs 9100 crore. Here’s his inspiring journey.
Alakh was born on October 2, 1991, in Uttar Pradesh’s Allahabad (now Prayagraj) into a lower-middle-class family. His family often faced financial struggles. Alakh’s father Satish Pandey worked as a private contractor and his mother Rajat Pandey was a schoolteacher. Their financial situation was so dire that his father forced to sell part of their home. They then moved to a rented house in a slum area.
It all started in the 6th grade when Alakh started tutoring his juniors. He even put in the effort to travel a distance of 5 km each day to take tuition classes and spread knowledge. Paving his path through school, he earned a small token of Rs 200 per session for his tutoring clases.
After completing schooling, Alakh attempted the IIT-JEE, but things didn’t fall in place for him. Instead of getting disheartened, he took another shot at the entrance examinations, this time the ‘UPSCEE’ in Uttar Pradesh. His efforts paid off and he secured a spot in the distinguished Harcourt Butler Technical Institute (HBTI) in Kanpur, where he pursued Mechanical Engineering. Despite this, he made the unconventional decision to leave college during his final year.
After leaving college, he went back to his hometown of Prayagraj and started a YouTube channel. ‘Physics Wallah’ came to life on January 28, 2014. Alakh’s unpretentious and practical way of teaching quickly struck a chord with students. As a result, his videos grew popular at lightning speed, leading to a noteworthy surge in his viewer base.
Physics Wallah had expanded after YouTube’s success and expanded into websites and offline coaching centers. Physics Wallah has become a major educational platform for aspirants. Today, Alakh Pandey’s estimated net worth is Rs 4500 crore, making him one of India’s youngest billionaires.
