Globancy

What Globancy does

Globancy Pty Ltd is an Australian education and migration consultancy headquartered in Sydney, founded in 2009 and operating across six countries. The firm serves two primary customer segments: international students seeking to study in Australia and individuals/families pursuing Australian migration pathways. Its service portfolio comprises three main lines: Education Agency Services (course selection, institution placement, visa applications, accommodation and travel support), MARA-registered Migration Services (skilled, work, family, and student visas, permanent residency, citizenship, and Administrative Appeals Tribunal representation), and OSHC/OVHC health cover representation through Allianz Care Australia, Bupa, and NIB. The firm has also added in-country marketing and cross-institutional partnership development services sold to Australian education providers.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model, charging per-engagement consulting fees to individual clients and earning commissions on health cover placements. Go-to-market is sales-led, delivered through a network of global offices (Sydney, Lima, Ulaanbaatar, Davao City, Quito, plus Colombia served from Lima/Sydney) staffed by QEAC-qualified counsellors and registered migration agents who speak the local language. The firm maintains direct placement agreements with Australian universities, vocational providers, and English language colleges. Distribution channels include physical offices, teleconference-based appointments, education seminars in source markets, ISEAA community engagement, and a website-based online inquiry system. Globancy is privately held and founder-operated by three directors — Miguel Mudbidri, Anup Shrestha, and Binaya Shrestha — each with over 16 years of education marketing experience.

There is no proprietary technology platform underpinning the business. Globancy has no app, no API, no patents, no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed external funding, and no public financial reporting. The competitive position rests on regulatory licensure (MARA registration), physical in-country distribution, and founder expertise rather than technology differentiation.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• IDP Education: Global education services company listed on the ASX; operates one of the largest international student placement networks with deep Australian university relationships. Directly comparable as an Australian-focused study abroad and English-testing operator, though it is far larger and broader in scope than Globancy.

Direct peers

• AECC Global: AECC Global (formerly Australian Education and Career Counselling) is a multi-country education consultancy with offices across Asia, LATAM, and other regions, helping students apply to Australian universities and VET providers. Closely matches Globancy's model of in-country offices plus Australian placement.
• StudyCo: Australian education consultancy that recruits international students into Australian institutions with offices across multiple source markets. Overlaps directly with Globancy in placement services and source-market coverage.
• AEC Education (Australian Education Connexions): Australian-based international education and migration consultancy helping students from South Asia and other regions study and migrate to Australia. Closely comparable to Globancy in combining education placement with migration support.
• Wiseway Global: Australia-based migration and education consultancy offering student visa, PR, and admissions services with offices in source markets. Direct comparable in service mix and target customer (inbound international students and migrants).
• Margan International (Margan Migration & Education): Australian migration and education consultancy focused on student visas and skilled migration. Comparable in combining MARA-registered migration advice with education placement services.

Emerging players

• Intake Education: A newer digital-first platform that helps international students apply to Australian institutions online. Comparable as a competing channel for the same customers Globancy serves face-to-face, but operating with a tech-first, low-touch model.

Others

• Migration Alliance: Australian industry body for registered migration agents and education agents, where Globancy's leadership (Co-Chair of ISEAA) is active. Ecosystem/peer association comparability rather than direct competition.
• QS Global (Quacquarelli Symonds): Global higher-education intelligence and student recruitment company operating ranking, events, and recruitment services including into Australia. Thematically comparable as part of the broader international student recruitment ecosystem serving the same Australian institutions.
