Why is an Association required?
To have a national network and presence in the whole of the country is very difficult
for big organisations and impossible for the middle and smaller ones. It makes it
imperative for concerns who intend to grow and have a national presence to use this
type of association as a form of expansion. This is the only business format, which
can enable a medium sized concern to have a pan India presence and reach customers
in all the parts of the country.
Studies Abroad has emerged as a leading alternative for the students. India happens
to be a large and complex market. The complexities involved in starting a new business
are far more than starting a new office. Different languages, culture etc. determine
the success of the venture. The overseas education business is a booming business
as students from many lands are clamoring to pursue higher education abroad.

Who can be eligible for the Association?
Educational counselors, consultants etc. having experience in the field of related
education, as well as having basic idea about the geographical knowledge of the
world are some of the persons who could be considered eligible for an association.
However, it would not be out of place to mention that the person being associated
should have or make arrangements for the basic facilities like office with complete
set up having communication facilities like telephones, fax, email etc. A flair
for counselling, sound understanding of business principles, a sales background
and a drive to succeed in the venture against competition also are some of the traits
that we are looking out for. Each person who joins Krishna Consultants as an associate
or an employee needs to share our vision to make Krishna Consultants as a leading
Studies Abroad Consultancy firm and make their contribution towards making this
vision a reality.
