Civil Services exam coaching with video-first content strategy
Drishti IAS coaches Indian Civil Services aspirants through structured programs in General Studies, optional subjects, essay, and interview prep. The tech stack reveals a media-production and performance-marketing operation: heavy Adobe suite usage (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator), YouTube optimization tools (VidIQ, YouTube Studio), and social-media management (Sprout Social, Meta Business Suite). Active hiring across marketing (31 roles) and sales (15) paired with pain points around lead generation, CAC, and subscriber growth indicates a scaling digital acquisition engine competing in a crowded coaching market.
