Abhishek Kasoju
MSc Healthcare Management · United Kingdom
"Our mission is to provide honest, transparent and personalised guidance to students who want to study abroad — and help them achieve their academic and career goals.
Abhishek moved to the UK to complete his Master's in Healthcare Management — living every step of the study-abroad journey himself: the university shortlisting, the SOP rewrites, the visa nerves, the first winter in Manchester. GRADMATE was founded on one simple belief: no student should navigate that alone.
Today Abhishek personally reviews every high-stakes application from GRADMATE's Manchester office, backed by an India Operations team in Gadwal, Telangana, servicing students across the country.
A truly cross-border consultancy.
Our UK head office in Manchester handles applications, advisory and student visa filing. Our India Operations team in Gadwal, Telangana runs on-ground counselling and document services for students across India.
