Hi and Welcome to season 2 of Raw and Real, this is episode 1 and I am Prayas Gupta, your host.

Today we are speaking with Swati Sandeep. 11th std ki Ek induction me, a teacher casually asked Swati - What would she like to become? A civil servant, Swati said. Fast forward to 2022, Swati ne Civil Service Exam pehli baat attempt kiya and entered the Indian Foreign Service.

But Swati’s ki story itni simple ya rosy hai ni jitni dikhit hai. In an expansive 90 min conversation Swati and I talk about:

What compelled her to choose Civil Service as a career?
- Kyu aspirants ko outcome se attach ni hona chaiye and just trust the process.
- What kind of mistakes she made? Feedback loops.
- What was her support system during those inevitable bad and low days?
- Mental health ki importance

And also even after qualifying and getting a rank, all the ups and down she went through to get into the service.

In this reflective conversation, Swati shows us how the path to success in the CIVIL SERVICE Exam often becomes clear in hindsight, before that, you just have a series of unexpected choices and unintended consequences.

All this and more in yet another Masterclass on UPSC Preparation, Mental Health, the Role of Luck and Resilience around One of India’s most coveted but also the toughest Exam - UPSC CSE. Let’s start!
