New Delhi: It is rightly said, ‘Try not to become a man of success, but rather become a man of value.’ Nothing can explain better than the motivational story of Unacademy co-founder Roman Saini. It is not a cup of tea for anyone to clear India’s toughest examinations and succeed with flying colors. Proving his brilliance, Roman Saini cleared the AIIMS entrance examination at 16 and later cleared the UPSC Civil Services examination at 22. However, the fire of passion was still ignited in him and so he left the job to start a new venture. Well, what was it..? Read below.
Did you know, that Roman Saini, the multinational educational technology ‘Unacademy’ co-founder cleared the tough AIIMS medical entrance test when he was just 16 years old and earned an MBBS degree by 21. However, after a year after becoming a doctor, he set his passion on conquering the toughest examination – the Union Public Service Commission- Civil Services Examination CSE and becoming an IAS officer.
At the young age of 22, Roman Saini cleared the UPSC-CSE exam and became an IAS officer. However, his thirst for greatness was far from being quenched and, soon he would quit his prestigious civil services job and embark on his next goal.
Roman Saini is recognized as one of India’s brightest minds, and his academic journey speaks. Additionally, he even served as a district collector in Madhya Pradesh. Driven by a desire to achieve more, Saini transitioned into entrepreneurship, co-founding Unacademy in 2015 with Gaurav Munjal and Hemesh Singh after resigning from his IAS position. Together, they established Sorting Hat Technologies, the parent company of Unacademy.
Unacademy, one of India’s leading ed-tech companies, has experienced remarkable growth over the past 5-6 years, largely thanks to engineer-turned-entrepreneur Gaurav Munjal’s YouTube channel.

Through its innovative approach, Unacademy provides thousands of IAS aspirants with affordable resources for UPSC exam preparation via YouTube, making high-quality coaching accessible to many.
In terms of salaries for 2022, Gaurav Munjal earned Rs 1.58 crore as CEO, Hemesh Singh received Rs 1.19 crore, and Roman Saini was compensated with Rs 88 lakhs, according to the media reports.
