Who is Prashant Kirad?
Prashant Kirad is an Indian science educator, author and ed-tech entrepreneur from Alwar, Rajasthan. To the students who watch him, he is simply “Prashant Bhaiya.”
He is the founder of ExpHub, one of India's largest free online science classrooms, and the author of the One Shot Question Bank for CBSE Class 10 Science, published with Educart. He is also a co-founder of Next Toppers, the ed-tech platform he built with fellow educators Shobhit Nirwan and Digraj Singh Rajput.
His work sits at an unusual intersection: engineering-trained problem solving, a communicator's timing, and a deep familiarity with what actually appears on a CBSE answer sheet. That mix is why a 40-minute chapter revision can feel less like a lecture and more like a friend walking you through the paper the night before.
Early life and education
Prashant grew up in Alwar, Rajasthan, in a middle-class family where education was treated as the most reliable ladder available. He was a strong science and maths student, and the habits that later defined his teaching — planning backwards from a goal, breaking problems into smaller parts, revising until recall is automatic — were formed long before he ever opened a camera.
He went on to study Computer Science at NSUT (then NSIT), Delhi, completing a B.Tech. Engineering gave him a vocabulary for structure: debug the step that failed, not the whole problem. It is a habit visible in almost every ExpHub lesson, where a complicated derivation is split into small, checkable moves instead of presented as one intimidating block.
How teaching became the plan
Teaching started as a side activity in college. Juniors preparing for exams would ask for explanations; those explanations turned into informal classes; the classes found an audience online. By the time graduation arrived, the side activity had become the more interesting problem to solve.
In September 2020, the ExpHub YouTube channel was created. The first lessons went live in early 2021, at a moment when millions of students were studying from screens and many families were cutting coaching budgets. The pitch was simple: free, clear science teaching that respects the exam.
ExpHub: a free classroom at scale
ExpHub – Prashant Kirad became the flagship channel. Its videos cover Class 10 science chapter by chapter, along with revision plans, last-minute strategies, sample-paper walkthroughs and honest conversations about marks, motivation and burnout. A second channel, ExpHub 9th & 10th, opened a dedicated space for foundation classes.
By October 2026 the two channels together had crossed 20 million subscribers and more than 1.6 billion views — a scale that makes free lessons the default rather than a favour. The community also extends to Telegram and Instagram, where notes, sample papers and updates are shared.
Next Toppers and the One Shot Question Bank
In 2023, Prashant co-founded Next Toppers with Shobhit Nirwan and Digraj Singh Rajput. The platform added structured courses, tests and mentorship to the free content ecosystem — an attempt to give serious students a complete path rather than a collection of videos.
A year later, his first book arrived. The One Shot Question Bank, created with Educart, was designed as an affordable revision companion for CBSE Class 10 Science. Instead of reproducing the textbook, it concentrates on chapter-wise important questions, previous-year patterns and competency-based practice — the material students actually search for in the final weeks before boards.
How he teaches
The teaching style is deliberate and repeatable. Five ideas show up in almost every lesson:
1. Concept before shortcut
Shortcuts are offered only after the underlying idea is clear. A student should be able to explain why a formula works before memorising when to use it.
2. The exam pattern is part of the syllabus
Every chapter is mapped to how CBSE asks about it: the common question shapes, the marks attached to each step and the mistakes that quietly cost marks.
3. Simple language, visible steps
Explanations move at the speed of a student seeing the idea for the first time. Diagrams are drawn, not pasted; derivations are worked through, not summarised.
4. Revision is a skill
Notes, one-shot revisions and MIQ lists are built for recall, not re-reading. The goal is to make the final week before an exam calm and specific.
5. Motivation is not optional
Backlogs, comparison and low mock scores are addressed directly. The message is rarely “work harder”; it is usually “here is the next small thing to do”.
What students can study here
This independent study archive gathers the free resources students ask for most often:
- Class 9 science notes and a 100-question practice set for Chapter 1.
- Class 10 science notes, plus MIQ lists for Science, Maths and SST.
- Class 11 notes for Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
- Most important topics for Science and Maths, Class 9 and 10.
- Book recommendations, including the One Shot Question Bank.
Recognition and impact
The clearest measure of impact is not a trophy; it is the comment section during board season. Still, the channels have crossed multiple YouTube subscriber milestones and earned creator awards along the way. Prashant's lessons are regularly recommended in student communities, and his book has become a familiar sight in Class 10 revision season.
What makes the work unusual is the decision to keep the core classroom free. Premium structure exists through Next Toppers, but a student with only a phone and a data pack can still learn the chapter, revise it and practise the questions.
