Frequently asked questions

SkillNarrative (skillnarrative.in) is a free skill-learning platform for Indian students. Every account gets one full skill completely free, forever — a structured roadmap, curated video lessons, written notes, cheat sheets, assignments and a WhatsApp community, the same as any paid skill. Additional skills beyond the first are a paid one-time or monthly unlock. It covers 15 in-demand skills including AI Engineering, Full-Stack Web Development, Digital Marketing, UI/UX Design, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics and Stock Market Trading.

SkillNarrative is built and run by Yogya Budhraja, who also separately founded Digi Improvement. The two are independent brands — SkillNarrative is not a Digi Improvement product.

Yes. You can pick one skill per account and it's free forever — not a trial, not a limited-time offer. No card is required to sign up or to use your free skill.

All five parts: a visual roadmap of every topic in order, notes, cheat sheets, hands-on assignments, and a WhatsApp community — the same structure as every paid skill, with nothing held back.

If you want more than one skill, you can unlock extra skills — either a one-time payment for lifetime access, or a monthly plan for as long as you're actively learning. That funds the platform so the free skill can stay free for everyone.

Exactly — the video lessons are free third-party videos (for example on YouTube), and you can watch every one of them for free on their own platform. You are never paying for those, and we don't own or host them. What you pay for is the material we build ourselves around them: the structured roadmap that orders the topics, our written notes, our cheat sheets, our assignments, progress tracking, and community access. It's the curation and the resources you're paying for, not the videos. This is spelled out in section 6 of our Terms.

One-time unlock gives you that skill forever, no matter when you finish. The monthly plan gives you full access only for the months you pay for, with a minimum of one month — it auto-stops after the number of months you choose, so you're never charged unexpectedly.

Yes. Every account has a personal referral link (see Refer & Earn). When someone joins through it and enrolls in their own free skill, ₹10 is credited automatically to your SkillNarrative Wallet — no approval step, nothing to claim. The Wallet can be applied toward unlocking any paid skill, or topped up with real money; it can't be withdrawn as cash or sent to another account.

Your free slot locks in on the first skill you enroll in, since that's what keeps the model sustainable. Choose the one you're most serious about — you can always unlock more later.

No — it runs in your browser. You can optionally install it as an app (via "Install app" in the menu) on Android, iOS, Windows or Mac for a faster, full-screen experience, but it's not required.

Automatically. Watching a lesson, opening a note, a cheat sheet, or an assignment marks it done — no manual checkboxes to maintain. Your progress bar fills up as you actually move through the material.

No, it's optional — but every skill includes a link to a free WhatsApp group where you can ask doubts, share what you've built, and stay motivated alongside other learners.

Ask in the WhatsApp community for your skill, or reach us directly on the Contact page. We read every message.

No. Lessons link out to free third-party videos (such as on YouTube) so you're always watching the best available explanation for that topic — we don't own, host or charge for them. Your notes, cheat sheets, assignments, roadmap and progress are what we create and host on SkillNarrative.
