Making a Mark
Even before the launch of their lauded digital platforms coursefinder.ai and elanloans.com, KC Overseas had established itself as a leading brand in the business of recruiting students to overseas institutions. Founded by Mr. Pankaj Agrawal, who serves as the organization’s CEO, and Mrs. Nalini Agrawal who is the director, KC Overseas was built on the firm belief that ‘Every Student has the potential to achieve their study abroad dreams if guided in the right manner’. KC Overseas now has a dedicated team of over 500 professionals, spread across more than 55 branches in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Nepal, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Innovation and technical nous have allowed KC Overseas to perform well even during the pandemic. “The company has grown by 95% in the past year, and growth projections for the current year are pegged at upwards of 300%, we are expecting to maintain this growth trajectory over the next five years as well” – says Prachet Agrawal Director and Product Head at KC Overseas. He further added, “KC Overseas plans to offer the coursefinder.ai platform directly to students and expand its partner network to countries like Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and South Korea in the coming 12 months. We also plan to double our workforce to over 1000 employees over the next year, this hiring spree is fuelled by increasing digital adoption, which is helping scale the business.”
To realize their ambitious growth plans, KC Overseas Education is currently exploring opportunities to raise funds via private equity to invest in technology and expand its operational capabilities in the coming years. This investment will help the company capture greater market share and establish itself as a market leader in the Overseas Education Industry.
