In today's episode of Staying Indian, we are joined by Mr. Kasper Baars, the Co-founder of Discov.Ai. Kasper here shares his journey of creating a digital student-university matchmaker aimed at assisting students in finding and applying to their dream universities abroad.
Website: https://discov.ai/
As a former international student, Kasper recognized the challenges students face firsthand. He identified the lack of resources for international students to assess their compatibility with universities, understand post-university opportunities, assess return on investment, and more.
This realization inspired Kasper to establish Discov.AI, a free platform empowering students to explore and determine the best university fit for themselves. By simply completing a needs assessment, students receive a personalized University Match Report featuring their top study options, along with detailed explanations of each university, all provided at no cost.
During our conversation, we discuss the frequently asked questions by students planning to study abroad, such as the best countries for international study, available scholarships for Indian students, and the overall cost of studying abroad. Kasper also provides insights into financial planning for studying abroad, highlighting costs in popular destinations while also suggesting cost-effective alternatives.
Additionally, Kasper sheds light on common scams and fraudulent activities prevalent among study abroad consultants and foreign agencies driven by commissions, emphasizing the importance of vigilance against such practices.
We further explore the current trends of the study abroad market, noting the increasing number of Indian students pursuing overseas education. Kasper reveals that a significant portion of Discov.AI's traffic originates from India. We also discuss challenges students abroad face, such as job hunting, housing, healthcare, and more.
Looking ahead, we discuss the future of Discov.AI and its upcoming features designed to support students studying abroad. Kasper outlines how the platform aims to assist students and elaborates on their future plans.
Tune in to gain valuable insights into studying abroad and discover how Discov.AI is revolutionizing the university selection process for students worldwide.

In this episode we have Rohit Kumar joining us from Los Angeles, USA. Rohit is not just an entrepreneur but also a content creator who actively promotes budding entrepreneurs, assisting them in establishing their own businesses.
He focuses on consumer products, import and export, e-commerce, and logistics. Since 2011, Rohit has been CEO of New Origins, a service provider for consumer product brands.
In our conversation with Rohit, we discussed his background as a businessman and entrepreneur, specialising in consumer products and import-export. With over 15 years of experience, Rohit shares his journey of creating brands, navigating import-export processes between India and China, and managing a warehouse in the US offering shipping services and 3rd party logistics (3PL).
About two years ago, Rohit made a strategic decision to venture into content creation. His motivation? To share his extensive knowledge and encourage more exports from India, seizing the significant opportunities available in the global market.
Rohit shares his unique experience of spending a significant part of his life in both Los Angeles and Delhi. He contrasts this with the present, where globalisation and technological advancements have made life easier for expats and NRI communities.
When Rohit moved back to the US, he started his career by working in Silicon Valley. However he felt a lack of flexibility in his job so he took the bold decision to leave Silicon Valley and embark on a journey to create something of his own. This led him to the realm of physical products, eventually leading to the establishment of his own import-export business. Rohit started his journey when he stumbled upon the idea of introducing bamboo toothbrushes to the US market. This marked the beginning of his venture into brands and the evolution of his business.
While doing this business, Rohit realised that in the Western market, there was a preference for products labelled "Made in India" over those labelled "Made in China." The discussion also reveals the global potential for Indian products and the role the NRI community can play in facilitating this growth.
Rohit also shares his insights into the current market scenario and the immense opportunities for those looking to export products from India.
Rohit believes that the NRI community plays a very important role in the global export landscape. The potential lies in creating a network that actively promotes Indian manufactured goods on a global scale.
We conclude the podcast with some important advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. He emphasises the need for a well-rounded understanding of buyer preferences and the potential for growth in various product categories.

In today's episode, we are joined by Rashmi Baya, an Indian expat with diverse experiences having lived in Japan, Singapore, and presently residing in the Netherlands.
Rashmi's journey as an NRI began in Japan, where she initially encountered challenges continuing her banking career due to the language barrier. Undeterred, she chose the challenging path of switching her career, opting to teach English.
As she relocated to Singapore, Rashmi re-entered the banking sector. However, she still felt unfulfilled, and realised she is no longer interested in this field. Hence, Rashmi took a bold step, leaving her job to follow her passion. This led to her engaging in social projects, volunteer work, aiding women and children in shelters and alongside also pursuing a degree in psychology and counselling.
The trajectory of Rashmi's life took an unexpected turn when her mother, unfortunately, became wheelchair-bound and grappled with loneliness and melancholy. As Rashmi and her sister searched for ways to keep their mother busy, Rashmi conceived the idea of SparkOn.
SparkOn emerged from a simple yet powerful idea – the power of forming connections through the sharing of knowledge, purpose, and joy.
SparkOn offers a platform for learning various skills through live interactions, both in-person and online. The courses offered are not only affordable but also incorporate face-to-face interactions, enhancing accountability and engagement.
The core mission of SparkOn is to build an inclusive community, breaking down barriers of age, background, and experience.
As our conversation continues, Rashmi shares real-life examples of individuals whose lives have undergone remarkable transformations through their engagement with SparkOn. These stories highlight the positive impact the platform has had on people from different walks of life.
Exploring Rashmi's journey and the origins of SparkOn.org reveals a story of resilience, compassion, and entrepreneurial spirit. It's not just about a career shift or creating a platform; it's about making meaningful connections across borders.
Her journey showcases resilience, compassion, and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit. Rashmi’s story is an inspiration for those considering career changes, seeking purpose, and wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
