DEGREE4U INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED

What DEGREE4U INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED does

DEGREE4U INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED (DBA: Degree4U) operates degree4u.com, an educational counselling and lead-generation platform that helps Indian students discover, compare, and apply to UGC-DEB approved online and distance degree programs from 20+ partner universities including Manipal University Online, Amity University, IGNOU, Chandigarh University, Lovely Professional University, and Sikkim Manipal University. The platform covers 10 degree categories — MBA, BBA, BCA, BCOM, MCA, MCOM, MA, MSc, BA, BSc — in both online and distance learning modes, and serves all 28 Indian states and 9 union territories. The product surface is a content- and SEO-driven marketing website with course-specific landing pages, university comparison tools, FAQ content, and a 'Book Free 15Mins Call Counseling' funnel that routes inbound students to a phone-based counselling team and documentation/admission support.

The business is monetized through affiliate/referral economics paid by partner universities on successful enrolments; the company explicitly charges no fees to students for counselling or admission guidance, and tuition is paid directly to the partner universities. The underlying technology is a standard website with web forms, course/state dropdowns, and an LMS information portal — there are no proprietary AI features, mobile apps, or APIs. The company is privately held, recently founded (listed year 2025), operates from a single BHIVE Workspace coworking office in Bengaluru, has no disclosed funding, no disclosed headcount, and no disclosed management team, and is registered as a Private Limited entity in India. Customer segments are horizontal — working professionals, students, career changers, and homemakers/personal commitments — and primary go-to-market is organic search plus inbound lead capture and phone-based inside sales.
