01It wasn't hard. It was noisy.
I'd just finished Class 10. My first ever board exam.
And the thing that surprised me was this: it wasn't that hard. What made it hard was everything around it.
There were thousands of resources. Most of them had thousands of pages underneath. And every page went on and on, with half of it trying to sell you a course, get you to sign up, or show you an ad.
You couldn't tell which one to actually study from.
the syllabus was fine. the internet wasn't.022024, and a new kind of tool
Around the same time, back in 2024, I got introduced to agentic coding. AI coding assistants were suddenly everywhere.
So I had a problem I'd just lived through, and a new set of tools I really wanted to play with. That felt like a pretty good excuse to help my juniors.
03A science teacher at home
Why science? My dad's a science teacher, and he's been part of the ICSE board meetings too.
So I wasn't building from guesses. I had someone at the dinner table who knew where students get stuck, and how to help them.
04One place, not twenty
SmartScience is one place to revise Class 10 ICSE science: physics, chemistry and biology. You revise, and then you test yourself.
It was never meant to replace the classroom.
It's for right before the exam, so you walk in with the right concepts instead of a dozen half-finished resources.
one tab instead of twenty.
