From a Dream in a Small Town to a National Vision
Discover Roshan Burnwal’s journey from Ukhra to building The Drop Organization, a leading cybersecurity training company in India empowering thousands of students. There is a beginning to every success story, but not all beginnings foretell the future.
The journey of Roshan Burnwal began in the small town of Ukhra, West Bengal, where life was straightforward, resources were scarce,& dreams frequently had to battle their way through reality. Roshan was born on March 22, 2002, into a lower-middle-class family and witnessed hardship firsthand as a child. The family lived in a small rented home while his father worked tirelessly as a businessman and managed the household with a meager monthly income of about ₹8,000–₹10,000. However, a spark was subtly developing somewhere between obligations and constraints—one that would eventually create an empire.
The Curiosity That Changed Everything
Although unplanned, Roshan Burnwal’s introduction to cybersecurity changed his life. During his school days at Ukhra Adarsha Hindi High School, he witnessed someone using unidentified technical methods to access the internet without paying. A moment of intense curiosity was sparked by what appeared to be a minor incident. Roshan chose to ask questions rather than ignore it, and those inquiries led to the discovery of the fields of cybersecurity and ethical hacking. Soon, that interest turned into an obsession. While others took conventional routes, Roshan started investigating digital systems, security procedures, and hacking methods independently. This was the start of a purpose, not merely education.

Choosing the Unusual Path: Education vs. Passion
Although Roshan Burnwal received his B.A. Honors in History from Binod Bihari Mahto Koylanchal University in 2023, his true education took place outside of the classroom. He was simultaneously honing his cybersecurity skills, experimenting with tools, and learning how digital systems operated while he pursued his degree. In contrast to many, he made the decision to consistently pursue his passion rather than limit himself to a degree.
The Birth of DROP – A Mission Before a Business
The Drop Organization (TDO) began as a mission rather than as a business. By giving away free books and notebooks to more than 200 students at Neelkanth Mandir in Ukhra, Roshan Burnwal started his first social project in 2019. His idea was straightforward but effective: to make a difference by contributing. As a result, DROP (Development and Research Organization Planning), a community-driven project with a social development focus, was established. But without funding, maintaining such initiatives quickly became difficult.
Roshan went through a crucial stage where there was a vision but no resources, even with his own money and the help of friends.
Failures That Built the Foundation
Roshan Burnwal’s path was not straight, just like any real journey. He shifted towards digital services such as website designing and development to generate income and support his initiatives. But even that phase did not sustain long-term growth. Many would have stopped by now. However, Roshan made a choice that altered everything: he went back to his primary area of expertise, cybersecurity. He started working with security tools and software, helping people protect their digital assets. His passion was in line with this action, and gradually everything started to come together.
The Rise of The DROP Organization
What began as a modest project eventually grew into a formal organization dedicated to cybersecurity education. The Drop Organization started providing:
- Training in ethical hacking and cybersecurity
- Systems of practical learning
- Models of offline and online learning
Its approach—practical training, live hacking tutorials, software support, and ongoing mentorship—was what made it unique. Students were not just taught—they were trained to perform.
Growth That Changed the Game
After almost 3 to 3.5 years of setting up the Ukhra office, stability finally came, and the company started making about ₹1-2 crores a year. While this would have been a moment to settle for many, Roshan saw it as a sign to dream bigger, a space that could symbolize Drop’s future.
The Expansion of Durgapur: A Dream Come True
Roshan Burnwal focused on the Webel IT Park in Durgapur, a desirable site that represented development and opportunity. He began by assembling a small team of six to seven people in a 450 square foot office. However, growth was rapid. He made the audacious decision to move into a 1200 square foot office floor in the same building as the team grew to 20 members. This new office was a statement rather than just a place to work. It contained:
- Capacity of around 70 seats
- A dedicated waiting room
- Back office operations area
- Conference room
- Separate cabins for senior members
This grew to be one of The Drop Organization’s largest and most organized offices. Roshan personally oversaw every aspect of this journey, juggling growth with continuing business operations. The office was constructed with a new look, a more ambitious long-term goal, and a stronger vision.
A Strategic Step Into Digital Marketing
Roshan Burnwal was able to take advantage of new opportunities because he was in a prime business location. He came to see that without digital marketing, digital growth was not complete. As a result, he looked into other options, such as joining BNI (Business Network International) as an official member. This choice turned out to be strategic.
Roshan Burnwal started getting numerous contracts for digital marketing through networking and partnerships, opening up a new vertical for the company. He made another audacious move after realizing the demand.
DCMC’s Launch: A Revolutionary Choice
Roshan Burnwal with his team member Gourab Ghosh introduced the DCMC (Drop Certified Marketing Course) in April 2026. This was a deliberate expansion into a high-growth field, not merely a course. DCMC concentrated on:
- Useful digital marketing abilities
- Actual campaign implementation
- Tools pertinent to the industry
- Training focused on careers
Roshan Burnwal thought that this action would influence DROP’s future, and that its true effects would become apparent over the course of the following two to three years.
Impact, Scale, and Important Numbers
The Drop Organization is now a potent illustration of purposeful growth.
- The yearly revenue has grown to about ₹2.5 crores.
- Operations are being driven by a robust team of more than 70 people.
- Every year, more than 10,000 students receive training. Through paid programs, between 30,000 and 40,000 students have received training.
- Free webinars and seminars have helped over 2,000,000 students.
These figures are more than just statistics; they show how lives are affected and careers are developed.
Authoring Knowledge: A New Milestone
Roshan Burnwal and his team released a book in February 2026 called:
“Cybercon: Decoding the Attack”
Moving from student training to producing documented knowledge for the cybersecurity community was another significant turning point.
Creating a Robust Team Environment
From a small team of 15 to an expanding family of over 70, Roshan Burnwal has always been a firm believer in developing people rather than just businesses.
He personally trained his staff, imparted knowledge, and fostered a culture of group development. This journey was made possible by members such as Ajay Sharma, Amit Burnwal, Hari Ranjan Burnwal, Govind Thakur, Sachin Barnwal, Sumit Sharma, Susmita Haldar, and numerous others.
Vision for the Drop’s Future
Roshan Burnwal’s journey is far from complete. His vision includes:
- Expanding DROP across major cities in India
- Building a ₹5 crore+ business and beyond
- Strengthening both cybersecurity and digital marketing education
- Creating a massive learning ecosystem for students
But beyond business, his deeper goal remains unchanged—to educate, empower, and uplift people through skills.
Final Thoughts – A Journey Still in Progress
Roshan Burnwal’s story is not just about success—it is about consistency, resilience, and vision. From a curious school student in Ukhra to leading a growing organization impacting lakhs of learners, his journey proves one simple truth:
- You don’t need perfect conditions to start—you need the courage to continue.
- The Drop Organization today is not just a company.
- It is a reflection of one man’s belief that skills can change lives.
And this journey… is still unfolding.
