Nolan sees strong demand
Student.com, the student accommodation marketplace, has opened an office in Bangalore to provide a free service to Indian students looking to study abroad.
The team in the Bangalore office has been assembled, said Student.com on 2 Mar 2020.
The new office is a part of wider global presence, serving thousands of international and domestic students across the world find their home away from home via the world’s largest student accommodation marketplace.
Noting that 63% of Indian students are choosing to study in the UK, Student.com said it will support students in finding accommodation in countries like the UK, Canada, and other popular international study locations.
“We have seen strong growth in demand in the region over the past two years and even though we have had people on the ground supplementing the infrastructure of our global team, we have now decided to invest in a physical presence on the ground,” said Luke Nolan, CEO and Founder, of Student.com commented.
“Changes in visa regulations for Indian students looking to study abroad is a key driver of this growth and we are really excited about the future for Indian students going forward.
“We have been able to set up incredibly fast and this is all down to the startup spirit of Bangalore and the commitment to growth in India. Our existing team are now joined by a super strong growth team who are ready to take our journey to the next level,” said Nolan.
Student.com lists over 1.25 million student beds, across 400 cities in 135+ countries across the world.
The global expert bookings team speaks over 12 languages and Student.com works with 1000+ universities, helping millions of students discover their perfect room every year. fiinews.com
