About Splash Education
We started with a simple belief: every student deserves access to the right guidance to unlock their potential. Today, we bridge the gap between India's brightest talent and the world's leading universities.
Our Story
Splash Education was born out of a firsthand understanding of how overwhelming the study abroad journey can be. Navigating university options, admission requirements, visa processes, and financial planning — it's a lot for any student and family to manage alone.
Founded in Mumbai in 2017, we set out to build an education consultancy that operates differently. No cookie-cutter advice. No overwhelming students with options they don't need. Instead, we take the time to understand each student's profile, aspirations, and constraints — and then build a roadmap that actually works.
Over the years, our work with students naturally led to deep relationships with universities. Today, we operate on both sides of the equation: helping students find the right institution, and helping universities connect with qualified, motivated candidates from India.
Our reach extends well beyond our Mumbai office. We work with a network of independent education counsellors and agents in cities and towns across India — from metros like Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad to emerging education hubs in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. We also maintain active partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across the country, who refer their students and alumni to us for study abroad guidance. This multi-channel model gives us access to a deep, diverse pipeline of students that few single-office consultancies can match.
We operate under two registered entities: Splash Publication, our research and publishing arm that produces study abroad guides, destination reports, university comparison handbooks, and scholarship directories for Indian students; and Splash Marketing, which handles all recruitment campaigns, events, email outreach, and university partnership services. Together, they bring the rigour of a professional services firm to a space that's too often driven by volume over quality.
