Understanding the gaps in the STUDY ABROAD MARKET?

⭐️ Think School’s flagship Communication course with live doubt sessions :
thethinkschool...
VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
Hi everybody!
In 2023 there were 6.4 million students studying abroad all across the world. But Out of these 6.4 million students, 1.3 million students were just Indians! And if you look at the money they are spending on this study abroad journey, it will blow your mind!! In just 1 year of 2019, Indian students spent 37 billion dollars in studying abroad!!! And this number increased to 47 billion dollars in 2022, and is expected to reach 70 billion in 2025!! You know how much 70 billion dollars is,
It is more than 5 times Reliance Jio’s annual revenue of 12 billion dollars and 1.6 times Tata Motors annual revenue of 42 billion dollars!!!
And if you consider 1.5 million students in 2025 with a 70 billion dollar spend, each student who is studying abroad will spend, 46,666 dollars, or 38.8 lakhs per year on an average!!
Now I don't know if you sense this but, any place where a rich consumer spends with a consistent pattern is a huge market opportunity!! And in India, this is a very rare sight!! Why?? Look at this chart, If you remember our Indus Valley report episode, we learned that the gold mine in India is not 1.4 billion people it is only 22 million people!! Why?? only 22 million people in India pay income tax, 74 million file for taxes, and only 4.5 million as in 0.3% of Indians contribute to 80% of the total income tax paid in India but the rest 1.4 billion people do not pay income tax at all!!!! So if you want to build a fast-growing, high ticket, high margin product to sell in India, this 22 million population is where you can make money!! Everywhere else, you can only make money with low-margin and low-cost products!!
So to understand this consumption class better, Blume Ventures put out this report, which said that India can be categorized as India 1 which is 30 million households with an average income of 15,000 dollars, and India 2 which has 300 million people with an average income of 3000 dollars per person and India 3 which has 1 billion people with an average income of 1000 dollars per person!! and you can see them as 3 different countries, which are Mexico, Indonesia, and Sub-Saharan Africa based on their consumption levels!!
And the consumption of India 1 is so disproportionately high that if you look at this chart, they alone consume 89% of the beauty products, 70% in Dining, and 79% of the entire food and beverage consumption in India!! So 120 million people as in less than 10% of the population is consuming 3 times more than the rest 1.3 Billion people combined!!
And these 13 lakh students who study abroad belong to this golden category of India 1 because they are spending 46 lakh rs a year!!!
So if this small subset of students has a lot of money, a lot of problems, and most importantly, if they all have a common behavior, this means it is a gold mine opportunity for you to build products and services for this one category!!!
This is the reason it is important to study this market both as investors and entrepreneurs!!
So the question is,
What does the higher education market in India look like?
What are the problems students face in their education journey?
What are the gaps that Indian startups are finding to build a business in this space?
And where can you find an opportunity in this space?

This is based on the assumption that students go abroad for better education. But I would argue that main driver to study abroad is to settle abroad which includes salaries, facilities, better infrastructure and in general dollar dream. This might work if the proposed Indian universities can provide placement in companies abroad 😊

I personally moved to Canada just 11 days ago . And let me tell you that the going abroad hype will soon hit its peak as getting work is hard, expense of living is through the roof and getting permits (PR in CA, H1B in USA, etc.) is getting tough by the day if already not. The four major countries are saturating and now people are looking to move more towards smaller European countries.

To escape the reservation in india moving abroad and keeping money in other currency than INR is necessary. So currently for the general category, having to study in India is the worst thing possible. As soon as you convert the currency back to INR, that money is going to be stuck since the inefficient reserved officials in the government are so slow and sometimes corrupt that it is difficult to even operate properly

[@SaarthakVijayvargiya28]

BITS Pilani ❤❤ at 4:47 1)The point that many students also move abroad due to the quality of professors and research at Indian Universities. Even the best of IITs and BITS have a shortage of very good professors. I am saying this bcz there are many profs who don't know how to teach and manage their courses. The students have to refer some online materials to get the understanding of these courses. 2) Many of the engineering students who are unable to get a good rank in JEE also move abroad so they won't get behind the competition.

[@siva_b_1999]

Your research missed one key point, they are not going because of quality education. They want to move out of India and they are using education as a reason

Bro nice video But I have some apprehensions 7:10 Median salary in US for STEM id $64k (agreed) - but in the same report you’ll realise the median for asians is $92,000 whereas Hispanic workers ($45,000). So in General Indians are earning higher (but because of averages from other sections, it might look lower) 7:28 - $100k personally for me goes a long way than ₹23 lakh in India (because I can save and send way much more money back home)

On the other side i think you should have mentioned how much the student sending money back to india which has few players who managing and the amount is US $125bn all together. Also added to that housing rip offs the student by charging extra. Thats why everyone prefers to take rent home or stay with friends. I would be better if someone helps to find them whole home or apartment which lot of indian are doing and makes a business out of it. Food wise it’s impossible to get into market as big brand has such a monopoly by literally set a bottom prise and give inventives to big markets or shops.

If someone belongs to lower middle class family for He/She its next to impossible to get a edu loan . If they don't have collateral or co-signer they cant get a loan. There are options like Mpower only works for US uni , and Prodigy Finance which works in multiple countries , They give loans without Co Signer but you would still have to show remaining funds required to travel and sustain. Maybe Some one can capture this market and start something like this in India. This will definitely boom the business.

[@amnagrawal]

The facts presented at 7:05 are somewhat incorrect. As someone who has lived in India and US, I can confidently say that the Purchase Power Parity (PPP) comparison done here is for the same class of goods, but not for the same quality of goods. For example when buying a car, on absolute scale you'd be able to spend more in US. Since the cars are cheaper in US, luxury cars become more affordable. When @ThinkSchool factors in PPP, they are comparing the cost of owning a car in both the countries, but NOT the quality of car you end up buying. If you compare products of same quality, then by PPP India turns out to be more expensive for a lot of other goods and services.

[@sachin15194]

This is really a data packed video with lots of reality checks. So people thinking all the people living abroad must be having a lavish life would need to think twice before saying that. Because majority of those students are belonging to middle class families and they’re living minimally to support their family back in India. Good work Ganesh!❤

[@KaresAntrales]

Of course PPP is important factor but that wont solve the problem a person earning 23lacks in india will still choose 100k in US or can even live with 80k. And this is more better choice for people who likes traveling abroad or consuming foreign products. As an example a person working in the US will have to spend a lesser part of his salary on flights or other tourist expenses plus if he wants to buy a Tesla or Mustang that would not be a bigger expenditure as compared to an Indian salary. Moreover, a better lifestyle and better use of taxes is an addon.

Great video. The numbers shown are even higher in the actual world. I mean at least for USA. Sending TOEFL scores to Universities cost around 2500 not 250, so maybe u can correct that. I believe financing the biggest opportunity in this market. Bigger than anything u mentioned in the video. And there is a very cultural reason to it. That is Indian community highly values education and can pay any amount to get that right. With that, if a company can tell Indian parents in the lower income group that they don't need to worry about expenses, I am sure people would be willing to pay. Also, the recovery rate of education loan is 100%, so where companies are playing at 11% ROI, they can be disrupted with 7% ROI

5:43 the dark brown 50-60% says total students, not sure if it's an error as you might have wanted to say TAM or something else do look into this bro. Amazing information just from the list of companies that provide all the services, abroad that Uni living partners with, of we can make Indian versions of that it'll be an incremental improvement and if we could develop something like uni living itself, oru be a disruptor for sure. Thank you for making such amazing videos, keep em coming. Sorry for starting off with a correction point (I might be wrong from the perspective I looked at it, just wanted to mention it).

Its really best initiative. Please carry it forward.

[@shubhishrivastava1899]

There’s a lack of such precise information about many such industries and ideas and you are doing a great job! Please make more such videos

[@jaidev6583]

Why the fees in India is not as compared to PPP with other countries. I say people to go explore how the world looks like and being a student is the best way for it. But dont take huge loans for it. Either go through scholarships or explore Europe its very cheaper compared to India also but you have to work part time in order to cover up your expenses. So if you are open minded want to explore something new early in life take a chance and go. Even if you like country stay there or come back that is your decision but dont spend your family hard earned money in this instead earn yours

Impressive strategy by Think School! Identifying gaps in the study abroad market, especially post-COVID, is key for investors and entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the growing demand for international education. Understanding consumer behavior, like India 1's spending habits, provides valuable insights for tapping into lucrative market segments. 💡

[@kuchhbhikunal]

And what if I don't even have 10.5 lacs? Being a general category it's a huge task to get into IIMs/IITs. Not to mention, they also charge hefty fees. What to do then ? Kindly respond Think School

[@ThinkLike.Alpha.]

Main Thing in "Finance" is that these company that u mentioned are expection only because they provide Education loan for Abroad studies without any collateral upto 40 Lakh, with High interest rate 12-14%

[@glitchedgamerz1064]

But we have no choice Indian Study And college system is wreaked. I have 9 pointer in college and we write Millions of assignments and Teachers Literally make us feel like Animals while collecting assignments which they just throw off and check without even looking it's so bad. And other majority is focused on things which are not even job worthy like they just teach us C++ and now majority companies use python, JS, React and other stuff we have to everything by ourselves and it's not even in the curriculum. We cannot even have a life outside studying like I want to keep myself fit and have enough sleep but sadly cannot do that cause of 8 hrs college 1 hr travel 3 hrs classes 3 hrs assignments and Hw and our self Study

[@HumanCenteredDesign]

Watching this from US, as an international student. And everything discussed here is very true. One another big gap is now is helping international students get jobs as well. There are a lot of resume consulting, mock interview companies, auto application companies in the market ( as of now there is not a big market dominator here but many small players ). Also, while there is University Living in the housing market, in my perspective, even it has less than 0.5% of this entire market share.

[@PrashantMaurice]

They are going for USA not for education but for settling there.

You can't settle in the US without an H1B visa and Green card. The wait time for Indians is 100yrs for Gac

[@sureshramalingam362]

Good effects brother ❤🎉

[@purabsoni4079]

Ok there is a flaw in your research, while you are saying 100000 US dollars equivalent to 23 lacs, you missed the point that staying in US you can actually save a lot of money when converted into INR whereas 23 lacs is not just enough to save money and live in the metro city at the same time. So this PPP concept is just a way to comfort Indian students that don’t worry you are not missing much staying in India

Going to abroad is not because such education is not available in India. It is just a stepping stone to live in a better society.

Reservations in India is the major reason for immigrating to have a better life and opportunities without a doubt.

He also saying the same thing ... They don't get reservation in India, so they go to a place where they will get reservation

[@sanketsakhare2455]

Bro Grow Up! If you get a chance to study abroad, you will also go there.

[@shyamjayaprakash4089]

Definitely another good video. I would suggest one more reason for the students to go abroad for education is to move to that country and ofcourse, expectations is the course will help them to get a job. So, the big picture is to move abroad and settle down. Education is a stepping stone.

[@rajgautam3621]

@@Omnamahshivay8079 the companies are only focusing on money not on the career of the students. It has became a sales job instead or a counseling job. Companies don't care about your future. They only care about the money and They are fooling the students and destroying there career.

[@harshp7364]

Hey there! I've been following the content closely, and while I appreciate the focus on established entities in India, I feel like there's a gap for aspiring individuals, especially students. Many of us tuning in are eager to kickstart our own ventures or initiatives, so it would be awesome if the channel could open up to applications from such folks and provide guidance on how to get started. Regarding the recent video about potentially leaving India, I totally get the need for a hook, but I couldn't help but feel that it didn't quite cater to the student audience as much as usual. It'd be great to see more content that directly adds value to students' lives, maybe by diving into topics like the ones mentioned below: 1. How many of the 1.3 million students studying abroad rely on loans to fund their entire journey? 2. On average, how long does it take for graduates to pay off their student loans? 3. What proportion of the 1.3 million Indian students abroad come from middle-class backgrounds? These questions could spark some interesting discussions in the comments section and provide valuable insights for students navigating their academic and financial journeys. Looking forward to more engaging content!

[@prachuryaray9034]

First I thought he was planning to leave India

[@alap1983]

This video neatly explains the BUSINESS of Education. How Students/their Parents are the "Subscribers", and how Subscriptions are sold to them. Students who opt for a Foreign Education are aiming for MUCH More than Education. Not only is the acceptance rate far better, but Foreign institutes do not have Reservations or Minority Quotas. This makes it (more-or-less) an equal-opportunity game. This extends to the post-education Job market, where a foreign education is usually considered more valuable. Several foreign-education students don't even think of returning to India EVER. The Indian Education System, including the Higher Education Degree Colleges, has been steadily descending into utter Chaos. The Core Education, let alone the Quality, has deteriorated significantly. Hence, anyone hoping to build on "Soft Skills", usually considers looking beyond India.

[@raghavsharma-mr4xm]

The problem is that no one will remove reservation quota as they need their bloody votes. GUess what -we general caste only have one option study empower and innovate Its sad but competition is quite high and trust me if you give fish to person everyday he will not die of starving But if you make him learn fishing he can make sure that no one starve in family . Whether its quota people just see their standard of living For those middle class and general class Study study study and make yourself capable

[@sankkham]

I'm also from open caste bt most PPL who are leaving are private job employees. 😂 And lower caste PPL literally face problems. Problem is obc PPL getting reservation despite they are rich and have higher %

​​@@keerthan7558I break it down for you, the people who move out are the ones who dont benefit from this system and dont want their future generations to face the same discrimination they faced(aka general, middle middle /upper class, males). pay taxes (direct and indirect) and others get freebies meanwhile you breathe the smoke from the 10 fortuners that IAS babu is driving with on your tax money.

There are lot of hidden expenses. Lot of students depend on facebook groups for accommodations. Usually they end up getting one far from university. If the university is in a good city, then the commute gets a bit easy but still they have to pay. If in a small city, then they end up paying alot.

[@AbhishekAgrawalcadsimplified]

Prasad, You have been out of Pune & didn't even secure a job after your college & you are talking about study abroad!!! Lol!! That's a drawback of KZbin. People tend to think they are expert on each topic.

[@PoojaKanchan28]

It's not that he didn't get, if you follow him you would know he was never interested. On top of that he already was running a successful communication masterclass and had already started his KZbin journey.

[@AbhishekAgrawalcadsimplified]

@poojakanchan I totally understand he is famous youtuber. Reality is, youtubers are hellucinated influencers with their very limited & biased perspective & their tendency to measure everything from objective sense, which is too dangerous for anyone who is new who wants to pursue international study & might get demotivated because of it. Forget about money, salary, growth perspective, multicultural experience, ease of living, the biggest advantage of internal study is exposure. You can always work in india since you are indian citizen for lifelong. But gaining a international is equally important in your working age to broaden the perspective & save yourself from myopic view. Few KZbinrs which are basically unemployed people from their past right after their college who couldn't & didn't choose the career which doesn't suit them, started to spread negative views about it, & hence it's important to deinfluence such people by someone who actually gone through it.

[@aasishwarsaravana5748]

Very much true but with a caveat…. The percieved lack of quality jobs in India and the work culture and lifestyle associated with it. We think that people abroad live much more sophisticated with average income much higher than what you get in India. Hence, every family wants to send their children abroad to elevate their social status and guarantee a good life to their children. However the irony is that people living there too perceive Indians working at Indian jobs to be happier, as they too have challenges regarding Visa, housing, and even the fear of losing their jobs. If we can somehow convince these people that something similar can be achieved in India without spending much abroad, it will become a huge market
