Overseas Education Consultants

What Overseas Education Consultants does

Aar Overseas (Aar Education Pvt. Ltd.) is a Delhi NCR-headquartered overseas education consultancy serving Indian students seeking undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional study abroad opportunities. The firm operates a free student-facing service model across five core destinations — the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand — and claims coverage across 30 countries globally through its Course-Finder platform.

The company's core technology is a proprietary Course-Finder software platform that indexes 80,000+ courses with structured data on qualifications, grades, IELTS scores, tuition fees, duration, and institute rankings, and matches students to programs through a filtering and recommendation algorithm. Supporting offerings include online IELTS preparation classes, education loan facilitation through a nine-bank partner stack (IDFC First Bank, Avanse DHFL, HDFC Bank, HDFC Credila, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, SBI, and Bank of Baroda), video counselling, application and visa filing support, pre-departure briefings, and Canada PR visa guidance. Operating with approximately 26 employees, Aar Overseas runs from primary offices in Faridabad, a secondary Faridabad office, and two Canadian offices in Toronto and Mississauga.

The business model is freemium to students, with revenue generated through affiliate and referral commissions from partner international universities and financial institutions. Go-to-market combines digital inbound acquisition (SEO content, blog, community forum, IELTS funnel) with high-touch assisted conversion via dedicated Personal Relationship Managers and on-ground Delhi NCR counselling.

Revenue model

1. Commission from Partner Universities and Institutions: Aar Overseas provides free services to students (no charges for counselling, application support, or visa guidance). The company generates revenue through commission or referral arrangements with the international universities and colleges in its network. The company has established strategic university tie-ups across countries and continents.
2. Education Loan Referral Commission: The company matches students with partner financial institutions (IDFC Bank, Avanse DHFL, HDFC Bank, HDFC Credila, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, Kotak Bank, SBI, Bank of Baroda) for education loans. While services to students are free, the company likely earns referral fees or commissions from these financial partners.
