IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: For all those who want to become IFS officers in 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027
You may not agree with a few points in the podcast - and that is absolutely fine. NO SCIENTIFIC society can thrive without a debate.
However, I’m of the firm opinion that for a country to succeed and grow - the most important thing is to have well motivated people occupy important positions.
Think about it? If you have motivated people in important positions - they will learn, they will mistakes - but most importantly they will contribute. And they will do so with extreme passion and pride.
A country can NOT thrive if it doesn’t have good ethically motivated people in important positions. And today, one of the most important positions in India is that of an officer in the Indian Foreign Services.
The Indian Foreign Services matters today because foreign policy is no longer foreign. It affects people right where they live. Today whether you are a resident of Delhi, or Durban, or Dallas - whether you are from New Zealand, or Namibia. It is simply not realistic to think only in terms of your own country.
A women farmer in India may not have the slightest idea who the foreign minister of India is, or would care about the American Withdrawal from Afghanistan. But she will know when the kerosene of her kitchen stove has become unaffordable.
She doesn’t understand international economics but she is directly affected when she isn’t able to sell her produce because of some negotiations that happened in the corridors of the WTO or the UN.
Our health, our security, our prosperity, quality of life, and even our businesses are increasingly affected by what happens beyond our borders which means we can’t simply be indifferent about our neighbors.
Sadly, many youngsters who get into the IFS are those for whom IFS was NOT even the first preference. They got into the IFS because they couldn’t get into the IAS.
This needs to change, and this will change. Because now we are launching something called the MisFits.
*******
2 years ago, I was at the United Nations HeadQuarters in New York - when I received an anxious call on WhatsApp from a friend.
Only this time it was his sister - informing me that her brother is no more.
What followed next were frustrating moments of grief, disbelief, and anger.
Why? Because it was only a few years ago - my friend and I appeared for the UPSC Civil Services interviews together in Delhi - and we both couldn’t make it to the final list.
I moved on, but he couldn’t - until he exhausted all his attempts.
I couldn’t believe why someone as bright as him could even succumb to the pressures of not clearing an exam.
And more so, how can anyone give so much importance to an EXAM?!
But the mind plays tricks.
It plays tricks when you are alone and in an ecosystem that gives so much importance to one singular outcome in life.
It plays tricks when you give power to society to comment on your capabilities.
It plays tricks when you ‘think’ that there’s no way out of this exam cycle.
But the fact of the matter is that in a country like India 99% will fail exams - especially when one such exam is the UPSC Civil Services.
After the news, I was clear in my head that I will NOT let a single person ruin their 20s because of this exam.
It goes without saying that clearing the UPSC exam has changed many lives.
But at the same time, millions have ruined their 20s stuck in the endless loop of appearing and reappearing for the UPSC Civil Services and living the rest of their lives as 'losers' of some kind.
They approach the exam with high hopes- but if for some reason they end up failing in civil services, they should ALL have opportunities to bounce back in life.
MisFits.Bet is going to be for you. Misfits is for those who are confused, and struggling to find right guidance in the quagmire of irrelevant coaching institutes that are sadly run by motivational speakers and entertainers (and not by the teachers).
MisFits.Bet is going to be for India’s next 100 diplomats - who will promise me that they will appear this exam just once. And they will do so with all their might, right guidance, and support system. And if for some reason they don’t make it to the final list they will pivot.
We live in a world that is innundated with a lot of information. And sadly, most of that information is irrelevant. MisFits will provide you clarity in your 20s. Because in a world filled with irrelevant information. Clarity is indeed a super power
