The plot of Kota Factory is set in Kota, Rajasthan, which is a hub for coaching centres where students come from all over India to prepare for various entrance exams. The show follows the life of 16-year-old Vaibhav who moves to Kota. It shows the life of students in the city, and Vaibhav’s efforts to get into IIT. Revathi’s character is first introduced in episode 4, season 1. Revathi received praises from critics and the audience for her acting skills in the show. Raghav Subbu, the director of the show said, ‘Things that people liked about ‘Kota Factory’ season one was not just the fact that it’s somebody going to a city and just giving an exam, wanting to go make it to the IIT. There were so many things that we highlighted with the show, like the theme of loneliness.”

In an interview, Pillai said “Like every other audition I got a call from this casting agency, telling me to audition for a web series but they didn’t mention which is the production house or anything. So I went for the audition and they said they will call me within a few days if I get selected. I didn’t really get a call like for the next 2 weeks or something but I was quite satisfied with the audition that I had given.” The second season of Kota Factory was released on 24th September. On 26 September 2021, Raghav Subbu confirmed that the third season is in the works.
