AdmitKard leverages advanced technology and data science to provide personalised guidance to students, helping them to find the best-fit university, course, and country to achieve their career goals. It claims to have helped thousands of students with their admission journeys and provided access to over 3,000 universities in over 20 countries.
"Our vision is to empower students to make informed career choices and use education effectively to achieve their goals," said Rachit Agrawal, Co-founder, AdmitKard.
The company has built an intelligent match-making layer on top of millions of data points gathered over the years and refreshed frequently. But data itself is insufficient to provide assurance and confidence in a pivotal life decision for which AdmitKard has nurtured a very tight-knit community of Mentors (current international students) who guide these students and their parents by sharing their experiences.
“We are thrilled to have GSV Ventures on board as we continue to build and scale AdmitKard. This funding will allow us to accelerate our growth and invest in our technology and product offerings, enabling us to better serve our students and partners,” said Piyush Bhartiya, Co-founder of AdmitKard.

We are excited to support AdmitKard in their mission to make education more accessible and help students achieve their dreams,” added Deborah Quazzo, Managing Partner of GSV Ventures.
