An IPS officer turned into a Social Entrepreneur, Rajan Singh
One of the most prominent occupations in India is passing the UPSC examinations and becoming a well-respected civil servant. While the majority of UPSC success stories go on to serve in high-ranking posts for decades, Rajan Singh took a different path.
Rajan Singh is the founder of HabitStrong, a company that strives to help individuals of all ages create good habits. He’s also the founder of ConceptOwl, a company that helps students break bad learning patterns by teaching them how to employ active recall and focused learning approaches.
Rajan is an IIT graduate with a Wharton MBA. He has worked for the Indian Police Service as the Commissioner of Trivandrum, for McKinsey, and for a private equity fund as an investment expert. He is now an entrepreneur, consultant, and investor who is revolutionizing the Indian education sector by encouraging creative minds from rural India to fulfill their full potential and thrive.
Rajan was running Concept Owl at the time of the covid pandemic, where he with his team taught Math and Science to students in tiny villages. When he started hearing from parents who said their children were intelligent but lacked the habit of studying or practicing frequently, he began to think about habit as a whole, and then HabitStrong came into the picture.
HabitStrong hosts online boot camps to help people develop life-changing habits including discipline, attention, mindfulness, and a no-compromise mindset. Their current programs include digital detox, developing a mindful morning routine, deep work, flow, and focused learning.
