Anand Handur founded Edualliance in 2001 with a journey that began from his own aspiration to study abroad with a single, clear conviction that every student deserves honest, reliable guidance when making one of the most significant decisions of their life.

With offices in Pune, Pimpri and Kolhapur Edualliance has grown into one of Maharashtra's most trusted overseas education consulting companies, counselling students across destinations including the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and Europe. Through every year of that journey, Anand has remained at the center of the counselling process not as a director removed from the floor, but as a practicing counsellor who understands that no two students are the same and no two solutions should be either.

Anand's approach to overseas education counselling builds on a fundamental distinction that separates Edualliance from much of the industry: he facilitates decisions, he does not make them. His counselling methodology is grounded in current, verifiable data, drawing on credible ranking platforms, official government immigration sources and real-time geopolitical developments that directly affect international students. In an industry where big claims and red carpet promises are common, he has built Edualliance's reputation on the opposite: realistic assessments, transparent information and the kind of honest counsel that students and families can trust when the stakes are highest.

In 25 years, he has seen the study abroad landscape transform dramatically from a world where only a handful of destinations were considered, to today's rapidly evolving environment where emerging European destinations, shifting immigration policies and India's growing global trade relationships are opening entirely new pathways for Indian students. He has guided students and families through every one of these shifts, always with the same north star: helping each student arrive at a conscious choice that serves their long term future..

When asked what has kept him in this industry for over two decades, his answer is consistent.

"When I connect to the core values of a student's mindset, the counselling journey becomes easier. Every student who walks through our doors has a different story. My job is to understand that story and help them write the next chapter of it well."
