The importance of the Indian and South Asia market as a major driver for global growth in student mobility is on display everywhere. The mindset of the growing market here is incredibly dynamic, and being a part of it allows me to stay connected with the pulse of the changing educational landscape.
Our industry is run on students’ sentiments. It is integral to understand the saving, investment and expenditure sentiment of your region from a consumer point of view.
A well researched student looks into rankings, location, accommodation, employability, and so much more. Outside of the elementary questions, I encourage students to ask about life on campus, support services, alumni networks, upcoming taster sessions or faculty visits to India, something which is not readily available on the website.
What brings me immense satisfaction is knowing that I am in a position to offer valuable guidance and counselling to students. I find great fulfilment in providing the kind of career advice and direction that I wish I had received during my student years.
This role not only brings out the best in me but also enhances my empathy, people skills and public engagement, making it a personally and professionally enriching experience.
