I am building MyDhyana , a learning platform that starts with the UPSC civil services exam.

I spent two years as a probationary officer at SBI, then two other jobs on the way here. I know what the years in front of a competitive exam cost. Most of that time goes to a blurry zone: you have done the reading, you have attempted the mocks, and you still cannot tell what you actually know — because nothing you are handed measures the difference.

Every system I studied with measured me in chapters — the better ones, in topics. The number went up. I could not tell you what it meant. A chapter is a container, and containers do not know what is inside them.

Every platform offers the same three things: mocks to attempt, videos to learn from, analysis at the topic level. All useful. All one step too shallow. The thing that breaks when you get a question wrong is smaller than any of them.

It is a single concept — the smallest unit of understanding. One idea you can be taught, tested on, and forget as one piece. Internally we call these quarks. All of MyDhyana is built on them, one level below where anyone else is looking.

Mastery is measured on each one, as three things: how well you answer it, how much of it you have been tested on, how much you have kept. Drop any of the three and the number starts flattering you.

And concepts stand on each other, in a graph that carries weight in both directions. A wrong answer usually traces to a break a few levels below it. Repair that one break, and everything standing on it firms up at once — questions you never practised start going right, because they were leaning on the same idea. You feel it as things finally clicking. Nothing sudden happened. One concept got strong, and the strength travelled. That is how learning happens.

Muku, MyDhyana’s AI, sits on top of that graph. It already knows which concept you are on, what you got wrong before, which idea underneath is broken. You should not have to explain yourself to your own AI.

The exam is the entry point, not the cage. None of this is specific to UPSC. The measuring was always the point — the exam is only where it is easiest to check your work.

MyDhyana started there.

I write here about building it. A company can make an argument; only a person can have a conversation. This page exists so anyone thinking about the same problems can find me.
