Helping Students To Get Their Dream University With Leverage Edu, Akshay Chaturvedi

In this digitalization era, education technology is in high demand for effective online learning as well as a better variety of educational institutions to pursue professional vocations. Students can now explore new streams and courses to pursue their aspirations thanks to cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.

One such entrepreneur, Akshay Chaturvedi, the Founder and CEO of Leverage Edu, understands these demands and his company functions through its own transparent and technological platform that enables students to seamlessly complete the entire process of getting admissions to their preferred universities. It is a career counseling and university admissions tool that has served around 10,000 students.

Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte were as much a part of Akshay Chaturvedi’s upbringing as academic literature when he was growing up. To help him improve his English, his parents gave him dollops of literature. Years later, Chaturvedi identified a commercial opportunity in higher education while a student at the Indian School of Business, where he also served as the director of the student board. And it was at that point that Leberage Edu was born.

Leverage Edu is now the largest study abroad platform, assisting students from India and other emerging economies in applying to institutions in other countries using an “outcome-focused counseling” strategy that considers employability and student achievement.
It employs more than 600 people. Every month, the company hosts over 7.5 million students who have access to 350+ university partners, the AI Course/Job Finder, virtual fair platform UniConnect, tutoring platform LeverageLive, and the company’s mobile app for iOS and Android, which has a community of 200,000+ users and includes daily shows on Leverage TV, as well as a 3000+ strong mentorship network.

Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia and Forbes 30 Under 30 India have both featured Akshay. In addition, he was named to the Entrepreneur Inc “Entrepreneur of the Year” in the Consumer Business list, as well as the BWDisrupt Education 40 Under 40 list for 2020. In August of this year, Akshay was named a CNBC Young Turk.
