A student's parents are ready to pay ₹3L. Your counselor is in a session. The next agency answered.
Peak season. January–March, July–September. 50–100 calls a day. Your counselors are in back-to-back sessions. The phone rings. A student wants to know about MS in USA admission requirements. Nobody picks up. That student — whose parents have ₹2–5L ($2,500–$6,000) ready for consulting fees — calls the next agency on Google. India's overseas education market is ₹50,000+ crore ($6B+). Your share depends on who answers the phone.

The Problem
The inquiry leak that peak season makes invisible
Student calls about MBA in Canada. Your senior counselor is in a session explaining UK visa documents to another family. Your junior counselor is on another call. The student hears ringing. No answer. They call the big-brand agency with a call center. You just lost ₹2–5L ($2,500–$6,000) in consulting fees — not because your counseling is worse, but because your phone was busy.
Peak season: January–March for fall intake, July–September for spring intake. Call volume jumps 3–5x. Your 3-person team handles 15 counseling sessions and 50+ phone inquiries simultaneously — which means they handle neither well. Inquiry calls get rushed. Sessions get interrupted. Conversion drops exactly when volume is highest.
Follow-up is where immigration consulting revenue lives or dies. A student who inquired 3 days ago about Australia PR hasn't been called back because your team is drowning in new inquiries. That student already paid a deposit to the agency that followed up the same day. The inquiry-to-enrollment conversion rate (8–15%) is low not because students aren't interested — it's because follow-up happens too late.

“January to March is madness. My three counselors are in sessions all day. The phone doesn't stop. I know we're losing students — I can see 40 missed calls at the end of the day. Each one could be a ₹3 lakh enrollment.”

What You've Already Tried
What consultancies try before fixing the inquiry pipeline
Hire seasonal receptionists — ₹12,000–₹18,000/month ($150–$220/month) per person. They can't answer questions about IELTS requirements, country-specific processes, or visa timelines. They take messages. Students want answers, not callbacks.
Google Forms and website chat — students don't fill out forms when they have urgent questions about deadlines. They call. A chatbot can't explain the difference between a student visa and a skilled worker visa.
WhatsApp broadcast for follow-up — generic bulk messages that feel like spam. Students want personalized responses about their specific situation (course, country, budget, timeline), not a mass broadcast.
1.3 million Indian students studied abroad in 2025 — and the number is growing 15%+ annually.
India is the world's second-largest source of international students. The overseas education consulting market is intensely competitive, with thousands of agencies competing for the same student pool during narrow intake windows. Agencies that respond to inquiries within 30 minutes are 7x more likely to enroll the student compared to those who respond after 24 hours. The consultant that captures and qualifies the inquiry first wins the enrollment — regardless of brand size or years in business.

What We Build
Capture. Profile. Book. Every student inquiry becomes a counseling session.
Captures every student inquiry with a complete profile — not just a name and number.
Student calls about MS in Computer Science in the US. The AI doesn't just say 'we'll call you back.' It captures everything: target course, target universities, GRE/IELTS scores, undergraduate GPA, budget range, preferred intake (fall/spring), work experience. By the time your counselor sits down for the session, they have a complete student profile — not a post-it note that says 'MS USA call back.' The counseling session starts at step 5 instead of step 1.
Answers the questions that eat 80% of your counselors' phone time.
What documents do I need for a Canada study permit? What's the IELTS cutoff for UK universities? Is Australia PR possible after a master's? These questions have standard answers — but your counselors answer them 30+ times a day. The AI handles these FAQs accurately, with country-specific detail, freeing your counselors to spend their time on high-value consultation sessions where they actually close enrollments.
Books sessions and follows up — so no student falls through the cracks.
The AI books the counseling session into your calendar based on counselor availability and student preference. Then it sends a WhatsApp confirmation with the session time, a preliminary document checklist, and what to prepare. Three days before the session, it sends a reminder. If the student doesn't show, it reschedules automatically. Your enrollment pipeline doesn't leak because someone forgot to follow up.
The Process
From first call to live. One week.
We handle the prompts, the telephony, and the integrations. You just answer the qualified pings.
We document your target countries, course categories, fee structures, common student questions, counselor availability, and enrollment process. We identify where inquiries drop off and where follow-up fails.
Your time: 1 hour on a call. Bring your inquiry data from last peak season.
We build the AI on your actual services — not a generic education chatbot. It knows your country specializations, your fee structure, your eligibility criteria, and your counselor calendar. It speaks Hindi, English, and Hinglish — because that's how your students call.
Your time: Nothing. We build.
Student asks about MS in USA with low GPA. Another asks about Canada PR pathway after diploma. A parent calls asking about fees and safety for their daughter going to UK. We test every scenario your counselors handle daily — including the edge cases.
Your time: 30 minutes reviewing test call recordings with your senior counselor.
AI goes live on your consultancy's number. Every inquiry captured with a full student profile. Every session booked with context attached. We monitor for 30 days and tune based on your real inquiry patterns.
Your time: Zero. Check your session calendar.
Results
Consultancies stop losing students the day the AI starts answering.
Immigration consultancy (Delhi): Captured 35+ inquiries per day during Jan–Mar peak that previously went unanswered. Counselor utilization increased from 40% to 85% — more sessions with pre-profiled students.
Study abroad agency (Mumbai): Follow-up automation reduced student drop-off by 45%. Students arrived at counseling sessions with documents ready because the AI sent the checklist in advance.
Boutique UK-focused consultancy (Bangalore): Inquiry-to-enrollment conversion improved from 9% to 17% — because every inquiry was profiled and every session was prepared.
Is This for You?
Built for immigration consultants drowning in peak-season inquiries.
This is for you if
- You handle 20+ inquiry calls per day (50–100+ during peak season)
- Your counselors spend more time answering repeat questions than conducting actual sessions
- You lose students to competitors because your follow-up takes days instead of hours
- You want every inquiry profiled and every session pre-loaded with student context
- Your consulting fees are ₹2L+ per student — the ROI from capturing even 2 extra enrollments pays for a year of AI
This is NOT for you if
- You handle fewer than 10 inquiries per week — manual processes work fine at this scale
- You're a visa filing service only (no counseling or enrollment pipeline)
- You only work with corporate immigration (H-1B, L-1) — this is built for student and PR consulting
