Prashant Kirad’s journey is the kind that gives hope to every student hustling with limited means. From growing up in a middle-class family in Rajasthan to building ExpHub and co-founding Next Toppers, he has become one of India’s most loved educators and digital entrepreneurs.
His mission is simple but powerful—make quality exam prep accessible to every student, no matter their background.
Born in 1996 in Alwar, Rajasthan, Prashant was a bright student who knew the struggles of financial limitations. After completing his Computer Science degree from NSUT Delhi, he turned down lucrative private-sector opportunities. Instead, he chose a riskier but meaningful path, helping students achieve academic success.
In 2021, he launched ExpHub, a YouTube channel dedicated to Class 10, Class 12, JEE, and NEET preparation. His simple explanations, motivational tone, and relatable “bhaiya” teaching style quickly made him a household name among Indian students.
Unlike many creators, Prashant focused on free, practical, and clear guidance for students who couldn’t afford expensive coaching. His exam hacks, last-minute revision strategies, and motivational sessions went viral.
By 2024, ExpHub had crossed 10 million subscribers on YouTube and 4.5 million Instagram followers, making it one of India’s biggest student communities online.
His book, One Shot Question Bank for Class 10 Science (written with Educart), further strengthened his reputation by delivering affordable, high-quality study material.
ExpHub grew into more than a YouTube channel. It became a full platform offering free courses, crash programs, mentorship, and motivational content for board and entrance exams.
Over 100,000 students have been mentored directly, and countless others have scored above 90% in board exams with his guidance. The platform now operates across YouTube, Instagram, and a dedicated app.
In November 2023, Prashant joined forces with fellow educators Shobhit Nirwan and Digraj Singh Rajput to create Next Toppers, a full-fledged learning app for CBSE students. The app offered affordable, comprehensive courses and built a supportive community for learners.
The results were immediate: within a year, over 1 million downloads and ₹4.6 crore in revenue, proving that accessible and value-driven education has massive demand in India.
Why is Prashant’s Approach Different?
Prashant teaches not just from textbooks but from life experience. Having faced money struggles himself, he ensures his platforms remove financial barriers for students. His philosophy rests on:
- Building trust with consistent, clear teaching
- Owning one niche before expansion
- Diversifying income through books, courses, sponsorships, and apps
- Treating education as a mission-driven brand, not just “content uploads”
Prashant Kirad is more than an educator; he’s a mentor who understands the student mindset. By combining purpose, business sense, and a people-first approach, he has built two powerful edtech platforms from scratch.
His success shows that in India’s digital age, educators can become entrepreneurs, and that meaningful impact and financial success can go hand in hand.
For students across the country, his story is living proof that with consistency and care, education can truly change lives.
