Gradding to Build Affordable, Tailor-made Student Accommodation for Indian Students Abroad
Gradding, India’s leading foreign education consultancy, is taking a step towards addressing the housing needs and challenges faced by Indian students studying abroad. With the objective of providing suitable and affordable accommodation options, Gradding is building a portfolio of purpose-built student accommodations (PBSA) across the world. These accommodations will be tailored specifically to meet the needs of Indian students, offering them a conducive environment to live, interact, and thrive.
Meeting the Needs of Indian Students Studying Abroad
Indian students are increasingly opting for international education due to factors such as better career growth opportunities, exposure to international culture, and availability of easy student financing options. Furthermore, simplified visa processes and work permits are also driving the migration trend of Indian students. Data released by the Government of India indicates that around 1.3 million Indian students studied abroad in 2024 across 85 different countries. Among the favored destinations, Canada, Australia, UK, and USA lead the list.
Addressing the Accommodation Gap for Indian Students
Finding suitable and affordable accommodation overseas is one of the first challenges that Indian students face. The international student accommodation market is witnessing exponential growth, with demand far outstripping supply. However, there are limited affordable options available for Indian students. Gradding aims to fill this market gap by providing tailored and affordable student accommodations.
Mamta Shekhawat, the founder of Gradding, stated, “While the number of Indian students pursuing high-quality education abroad continues to rise, finding the right accommodation still remains a challenge. Most students end up opting for multifamily homes, hostel accommodations, staying with relatives, or individual rooms, which can be expensive and may not meet their long-term growth needs. To support their academic aspirations, access to quality accommodation is crucial.”
Bridging the Accommodation Gap for Indian Students
Gradding aims to bridge the accommodation gap by strategically building portfolios of accommodations worldwide. Initially, the company will focus on countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia—popular destinations for Indian students. As the initiatives take shape and gain momentum, Gradding plans to expand its accommodation portal to include more countries.
Mamta Shekhawat further added, “Our goal is to provide Indian students with the best accommodations, enabling them to focus on their education and career growth without the distraction of housing uncertainties.”
A Complete Study Abroad Support System
Gradding is at the forefront of providing comprehensive support to Indian students throughout their study abroad journey. In addition to accommodation assistance, Gradding offers services such as admission consultancy, preparation tutorials, visa assistance, financing, documentation support, and more.
With its wide-ranging expertise and influence across the study abroad industry, Gradding continues to prioritize the needs of Indian students and aims to make their academic endeavors abroad smoother and more successful.
