Leverage Edu, a study abroad & talent mobility technology firm, is investing ₹50 crore to enhance its presence in India. The firm is looking to increase its experience centers to 30 by the end of the year, adding 20 new ones.

The expansion comes after Leverage Edu attained its unit economics model in Delhi NCR, where it has been opening experience centres for the past six months. The company wants to deepen its support and enhance accessibility for students and professionals seeking education and career prospects overseas.

The new experience centres will be primarily located in Maharashtra and Kerala, with a focus on areas where human interaction is preferred. According to Akshay Chaturvedi, Founder & CEO of Leverage, "Our experience centres are meant to be retail-like, accessible to students and their families, mostly in public locations."

Each experience centre will have consultants who will offer initial counselling, run assessments, and help applicants continue the process on the mobile app. Students will also have the option of in-person mentorship through Leverage's "coach-next-door" concept.

With the growth, Leverage Edu also looks to enhance its reach further and enable more students to achieve their education and career aspirations. According to Chaturvedi, "Our experience centers are designed to infuse human touch in our online presence, giving students and professionals tailored guidance and support as they choose their education and career paths."
