ForeignAdmits is a verifiable, venture-backed EdTech company (approx. $1.2M funding) with significant operational scale (125+ employees) and valid B2B traction (500+ partners). The project solves a high-value problem in the fragmented study abroad market. However, the submission quality is poor, with hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and filler data in specific fields, which contradicts the professional nature of the business. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market timing, heavily penalized for the lack of precision in the submission form.

Project Details

Description
ForeignAdmits is a B2B digital platform helping study abroad consultants manage their students' admissions to post-admissions journey. The study abroad industry is growing at 35% on an annual basis. India has 40K+ small & medium enterprises (SMEs) sending 1.3 million students annually who collectively spend more than $40B annually. One of the biggest problems for these organizations is the inability to help their students in their admission and post-admission/departure journey. Various start-ups/neo-banks are working on a specific product for a particular country; however, a single source of truth is lacking. Started by Nikhil Jain, IIT BHU & Monash University alum, the platform is used by 500+ businesses, including prominent clients like Zolve, PhysicsWallah, VFS Global, CIALFO, etc. The platform helps discover various universities, financial, travel, and hospitality products for multiple countries with the convenience of a one-touch application. The platform allows counsellors to manage their students through a layer of CRM and increase their earnings by INR 50,000 (600 USD) per student. We currently work with 100+ universities and 1 5+banking partners to serve 30,000+ students annually. In the next nine months, we plan to expand our distribution network to 4000 businesses, equivalent to 10% of the Indian market.
