Having worked in the Overseas education space for over 14 years with some of the biggest players, two things kept bothering me,1. Genuine advice to make someone's career2. Experience that a student + family goes through in the long processMajority of the career advice in foreign education space is driven by commission models & counsellors hardly care about student experience.I have set myself to change this by creating a democratic & transparent end to end model (Meaning fitment of the student in the right University & getting a scholarship matters more to us than commission structures)My passionate team and I run Away Education. I am working relentlessly towards my life's purpose of enabling people to realize their dreams of a better life.
