DreamIT - Episode 1 | Wardah Khan AIR 18 | UPSC Topper 2023 | In Candid Conversation With Indiatimes

In this episode of DreamIT, we host Wardah Khan, UPSC 2023 AIR 18. Wardah (based out of Noida) quit her job to pursue her civil services dream, and has opted for the Indian Foreign Services (IFS) as her first preference. She says she would like to further the image of India across global platforms and multilateral institutions, and help our Indian diaspora abroad.

Wardah hails from Prayagraj and has now become a source of inspiration to a lot of UPSC aspirants by topping the exam in her 2nd attempt only.

In this candid interview, we talk to Wardah Khan on various topics including meaning of her name (Wardah), how did she take the bold decision of quitting KPMG to prepare for UPSC exams, how did she deal with the loss of her father, how did she handle her transition from Prayagraj to Delhi, what's her take on the much-debated "Poverty of Aspiration" comment from economist Sanjeev Sanyal, what was her plan B during UPSC preparations, what was her daily routine during UPSC preparation, her views on "Is there bias against any caste, religion or region in UPSC interviews / exams?", and her message to UPSC aspirants (especially women).
