Shlok Agarwal, who studied at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, founded EduOptions in 2017 to help Indian students navigate the complexities of studying abroad. Initially, Germany was viewed as a secondary option for education, but recent trends show a dramatic increase in Indian enrollments, rising from 13,000 in 2016 to over 60,000 in 2023. This shift is attributed to favorable policies and a growing job market in fields like engineering, healthcare, and technology. Graduates benefit from an 18-month residence permit to seek employment, with many opting to stay in Germany post-graduation.
