Co-Founder

Prabhat is an alumnus of Stanford Business School and has over 26 years of experience in technology enterprises and start-ups.

Over the years, both as an industry specialist and as someone with tremendous knowledge about colleges abroad, Prabhat has mentored many students through their journey of seeking admissions in universities across the world.

“While guiding students and parents for college admissions, I realised most of them lacked resources or guidance on how to apply to colleges abroad. While applying to Stanford GSB and other similar colleges myself, I understood that for admissions to colleges abroad, one needed meticulous planning and method to stand a fair chance at being accepted. This is when I thought that we could create a structured multi-year program for students so that they can build a very strong holistic profile, something that would ensure their admission in the best-fit college.”

“I have been associated with teaching-learning and content creation in the field of education for many years and I realise that not everyone has the wherewithal to figure out options for studying abroad. Having taught students aspiring to go abroad, I learned that there’s more to a college admission than just scoring well on tests. To have someone with experience and insight to guide a student in his career path is a much-needed service considering we have more applicants than our colleges can absorb.”
