Learn From A Real-Life Experience! How Upskilling On Unstop Can Get You Closer To Your Dream Role

“Don’t run behind success. Aim at becoming capable. Success will follow.
(Kaamyabi ke peeche mat bhago, kaabil bano. Kaamyabi apne aap peeche aaegi.)”

15 years ago, the Hindi-language drama 3 Idiots shared this advice. Since then, the dialogue has been buzzing on college campuses, Instagram pages, and chat groups for years. Followed by the question -but how do we become capable?

What is the secret to getting better?
What resources are right for upskilling?
How do we know, with surety, that upskilling will yield the right results?

These questions are not new. But finally, there’s an answer—- backed by data, real-life experience, and actual results.

The Case for Upskilling

On January 15, 2025, Unstop Talent Park 2025 (UTP’25) was launched. It’s the world’s first upskilling internship challenge, where participants get paid to upskill.

The ask: Use Unstop resources to upskill.
The reward: Cash rewards worth INR 1,80,000 and a chance to grab an internship with a monthly stipend of INR 1,00,000.
The competition structure: The competition was open to all and divided into three rounds - a learning boot camp, independent upskilling, and a final interview.

Over 3.75 lakh participants registered for the opportunity, looking for both the rewards and a chance at upskilling with the right resources.

But were they prepared to put in the effort? More importantly, were they prepared for the results of consistent effort?

Let’s see.

Upskillers? Nah. Super Skillers!

Multiple super skillers emerged at the end of round 1 - participants who consistently attended the learning boot camp and saw a visible change in their skill levels.

Like Arnav Gupta, who saw a jump in his rank on Unstop - from 65,000 to 5,000. In just one week, his upskilling efforts yielded results. Or, as he put it, “Consistency beats intensity.”
