Speaking on the investment, Anil Joshi, Managing Partner of Unicorn India Ventures said, “ForeignAdmits has demonstrated a strong growth track record since we last invested in the company. As the world opens up and students look for higher education opportunities in top global universities, we want to back the company as it goes full steam ahead with foreign admission season.

Further talking about the fundraising, Ashwini Jain, Co-founder and CEO of ForeignAdmits, said, “We want to become a global leader in the overseas education space and help anyone, from any country, access the World’s best education to achieve their full potential using our technology. Students especially in tier 2 and 3 towns don’t enjoy exposure and guidance when compared to their metro counterparts. This is true for countries across the World. With the use of technology, we aim to transform the overseas study industry with better, efficient, and trusted technology products. This will also enable counselors and agents to help students with a better admission and post-admission experience.”
