Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Crizac Ltd (India's First Public Listed Organization in International Student Mobility) Serial Entrepreneur and Ex Founder at ForeignAdmits
Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Crizac Ltd and Founder at ForeignAdmits (a part of Crizac)
I'm the Founder & CEO of ForeignAdmits — India's most integrated B2B, B2C AI platform for global student mobility.
Eight years ago, I left a fully-funded PhD at Monash & IIT Bombay to solve one problem: students losing university offers because loan rejections & visa misguidance came after admission — not before.
So I built ForeignAdmits — India's first pre-admission loan eligibility tool & industry 1st Visa Copilot.
