Phonlawat Sirajindapirom, Co-Founder & CEO of RevisionSuccess, was recently featured on PostToday's Video Interview. PostToday is part of Nation Thailand, one of the country's largest media groups, with a long-standing readership across business, policy, and current affairs. The conversation focused on the state of education in Thailand, the role of learning in national development, and the student-led origins of RevisionSuccess.
Phonlawat opened by addressing how Thailand continues to fall behind many of its ASEAN neighbors in education outcomes, a gap with serious implications for the country's long-term competitiveness. He framed education not as an isolated issue but as the foundation that shapes every other part of society.
"Education builds people, people build the nation," Phonlawat said. He emphasized that strong education systems are what produce the best doctors, the best engineers, and the best innovators, the people Thailand will rely on to lead in the decades ahead. Closing the education gap, he argued, is not just an academic concern but a national priority that determines what kind of future the country can build.

He also shared the story of how RevisionSuccess came to be: an app built by students, for students. Born out of the founders' own experiences navigating high school and university, the platform was designed to solve the learning gaps they had personally encountered. Phonlawat recounted how he first met his co-founders Phuwadit Sutthaporn and Chotiwith Chotiheerunyasakaya through a debate competition, a chance encounter that would go on to shape the entire company. That student-first perspective continues to define how the team builds today, from how lessons are personalized to how feedback reaches each learner.
Phonlawat was also candid about his personal ambitions. He shared his goal of one day becoming wealthier than Komsan Lee, founder and CEO of Flash Express and the figure behind Thailand's first unicorn, and his determination to build RevisionSuccess into Thailand's next unicorn. His personal philosophy, he explained, is to focus on being unique, so that opportunities and people gravitate toward him rather than the other way around. He credited his age and the scale of impact he is already creating as the forces driving his trajectory forward.
Throughout the conversation, Phonlawat was quick to redirect credit to the people around him. He praised RevisionSuccess's talented team for making the company's progress possible, noting that none of the platform's growth, partnerships, or impact would have been achievable without them.
