Rishabh Pundhir
Co-founder & Director
Rishabh commenced his professional career as a site engineer with Larsen & Toubro, and later switched over to BASF one of the largest chemical producers in the world, to work in their sales and marketing team. Pausing his corporate endeavors, Rishabh went to Australia in 2016 to pursue his MBA from Macquarie University and got the opportunity to work with the Australian immigration industry. After garnering more than two and a half years of experience in this domain, Rishabh decided to start his immigration firm International Migration & Education Advisors a startup that enables people to explore their horizons in Australia and Canada.

Define International Migration & Education Advisors and its vision? How is it currently positioned in the industry?
As an eminent immigration and education service provider firm, International Migration & Education Advisors caters its services to exclusively Australia and Canada as of now. Equipped with migration agents and education counselors having years of industry experience and expertise we are delivering
favorable outcomes for our clients. We started the company in June 2020 and as of now, we have two branches one in Sydney and one in Canberra. Presently, we are planning to have a third branch in Delhi, India and we are currently working on this project.
Envisioning to become a global company, we want to cater our services across the globe for any education or immigration query. Once we start our venture in India, we will enter the European and American markets as well in the future.
What keeps you motivated as an industry leader? Describe some of your proudest accomplishments of your entrepreneurial journey.
Even the smallest accomplishments turn out to be huge when accumulated. When I see the happiness of our clients after things work out in their favor, for example if someone's student visa gets approved or someone gets permanent residency in Australia or Canada, I feel like I have accomplished something here. Those are the proudest and happiest moments in the life of our clients and bring a feeling of entitlement to them, that makes us happy too. Having played a prominent role in achieving these long desired goals of our clients, it motivates us to help more and more people out.
How do you define success? What according to you is the success mantra that helps you to deliver positive outcomes at every level?
There is no benchmark for success and the concept of success is very subjective to me. I believe that having contentment and being satisfied with the work that you do is what makes you successful. My mantra to succeed in life would be, hardwork, dedication, honesty and having transparent communication with the client. And eventually, it all boils down to the clients’ satis

As an entrepreneur, what are your plans for the next five years? And what is the roadmap that you have planned for your company?
So, for the next five years, we are planning on expansion and working on the third branch as of now. In the next five years, we are planning on establishing multiple branches in India as well as Australia, and will probably enter Canada also, since we have just started with our first project in Canada. In India, we are planning to have multiple branches and have already started our project in Delhi. Pretty soon, we're going to enter the Gujarat, Hyderabad, and Punjab as well. In Australia, we already have offices in Sydney and Canberra, and would like to expand to different cities, as well.
What would be your advice for the students and young professionals who are looking for opportunities overseas?
I would advise students to follow their passion and pursue something which they genuinely admire. Since a lot of people are migrating from one country to another, they generally intend to stay back there, which is alright. But eventually, if they're not able to follow their passion, they won't be able to find real contentment or happiness. So, follow your passion.
