To cater to the growing cohort of Indian students moving abroad, India’s leading foreign education consultancy Gradding is building portfolio of PBSA (Purpose Built Student Accommodation) all over the world. These affordable options have been tailor made to the specific needs of Indian students, giving them a suitable place to live, interact, and evolve. In next 3 years, Gradding will add 3000 new rooms across the length and breadth of world in its dashboard to provide ample options to aspirants.
Better career growth opportunities, exposure to international culture, availability of easy student financings is some of the factors that are driving migration of Indian students. Other factors such as simplified VISA options for students and work permit options are also fuelling the uptrend.
As per statistics released by GOI, around 1.3 million Indian students’ study abroad in 2024, across 85 countries. Canada is one of the most favoured destinations, followed by other major destinations such as Australia, UK, USA, etc.
One of the first thing that an Indian student looks for, while landing abroad is finding a suitable and affordable option to live. The international student accommodation market is soaring, with demand outstripping supply. Nevertheless, there is limited affordable options for Indian students. This is where Gradding wants to make a mark.
“While the numbers of Indian students migrating abroad in search of high-quality education is jumping steeply, finding the right accommodation is still a challenge. With dearth of specified options, students generally prefer multifamily homes, hostel accommodation, relatives, individual rooms, etc. These are often expensive and might not be convenient towards the long-term growth of students. To successfully fulfil the academic endeavours abroad, it is essential for students to get access to quality accommodations,” said Mamta Shekhawat, founder of Gradding, a study abroad platform.
“To further bridge the market gaps with bespoke housing solutions for students from India, we are building portfolios of accommodations all over the globe. Our goal is to provide Indian students with the best accommodations, ensuring that they can focus on their education & career growth rather than the distraction of housing uncertainties, “added Mamta Shekhawat, founder of Gradding, a study abroad platform.
The company will be initially building student accommodation portfolio across USA, UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia’s. In the later stages, it will add other nations to the accommodation portal.
Gradding is India’s leading international education consultancy, with its foothold across the value chain such as admission consultancy, prep tutorial, VISA assistance, financing, documentation support, accommodation, and much more.
