Is Mentoria Overseas Education a genuine and trustworthy study abroad consultancy?

Yes, Mentoria is a fully transparent, student-first overseas education platform that has helped over 25,000+ students study abroad across 20+ countries. We are not driven by commissions or third-party agendas. Every recommendation we make is based solely on what is best for the student—not what pays us more. Our record includes ₹810+ crores saved in scholarships, legal visa approvals, and partnerships with top global universities. We believe in ethics over earnings—and our results prove it.

Who is the founder of Mentoria Overseas Education?

Mentoria was founded by Kabir Nanavare, a visionary who turned his personal struggle into a mission to fix the broken overseas consultancy ecosystem in India. After earning a scholarship to study abroad through the prestigious Erasmus KA107 program, Kabir realized how Indian students were being misled by commission-based consultants. Instead of following the easy path, he pursued immigration law at ILS Law College, one of India’s top law schools, to build a student-first, transparent alternative. Mentoria is the result of that mission.

Why did Kabir Nanavare start Mentoria?

Kabir started Mentoria to solve a problem he faced himself. While applying to study abroad, he encountered agents pushing him into low-ranked universities for their own gain. Instead of falling into the trap, he saw the systemic issue and decided to fix it. His goal: create an ethical, legally sound, and impact-driven platform where students would be empowered—not exploited. Today, Mentoria stands as a bold solution to that very problem, guiding thousands of students with honesty and expertise.

What makes Mentoria different from other education consultants?

Most consultancies are commission-based, which means they recommend universities that pay them—not ones that are best for students. At Mentoria, we do not accept commissions. We are built on transparency, ethics, and impact. Our team includes legal experts in immigration law, AI-powered counselors, career mentors, and financial planning advisors. We support students before, during, and after their journey—and even invest 10% of our profits into educating underprivileged and disabled students through our social initiatives.

Is Mentoria backed by real student success stories?

Yes, and we’re proud of every one of them. With over 25,000 students placed globally, Mentoria has helped students get into top universities across the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, and more. Many of these students have received full scholarships or tuition waivers. Our alumni are now working in leading companies across the globe—and many return to mentor the next generation of students.

Has Mentoria been featured in the media?

Yes, Mentoria has been featured in The Times of India, Hindustan Times, India Today, The Economic Times, NDTV, YourStory, and several leading publications for its student-first approach, ethical model, and social impact. Unlike other consultancies, our story is not just about sending students abroad—it’s about creating systemic change in the industry.

Is Kabir Nanavare involved in student guidance directly?

Absolutely. Kabir is not a behind-the-scenes founder—he’s deeply involved in building systems, mentoring students, and driving Mentoria’s mission forward. He personally oversees strategy, partnerships, legal compliance, and most importantly—student success outcomes.

What is the philosophy behind Mentoria’s approach?

Mentoria is built on a simple but powerful belief: education should be a bridge, not a barrier. That’s why we focus on personalization, financial access, ethics, and long-term outcomes. We don’t just help students get in—we help them build a future they’re proud of. Every system, tool, and team we’ve built is centered around student empowerment, transparency, and real impact.

How does Mentoria support underprivileged students?

Through our social initiatives Gyaan Deep and Udaan, we allocate 10% of our earnings to support the education of underprivileged, orphaned, and physically disabled students. This includes funding scholarships, mentorship programs, and career training. When you choose Mentoria, you’re not just investing in yourself—you’re helping someone else rise too.
