About Leverage Edu

Our Story

Why we exist / Our raison d'etre

This is us

Leverage Edu helps students figure what they should do and where they should be at - wherever that be in the world - to realise their full potential. It helps students navigate & assess their journey thus far, matches them to personalised mentors, counsels them towards their higher education dream with an employability lens, and makes sure that everyone punched way above their weight to make dreams come alive and truly be able to level up.

“Akshay and team have put in place strong frameworks for building a large, long-term company in this first year of our partnership. The scale of the overseas education opportunity set is even more massive than we initially imagined and the pace at which the team has executed has meant that we are happy to see ourselves co-leading a second round with DSG into an early breakout from fund III.”

Announcing Leverage Edu's $6.5m Series A

In 2014 September, as part of his Zero to One book launch promotion campaign, Peter Thiel did an AMA (ask me anything) with Forbes’s subscribers. In that AMA, he was asked about the most important and influential book he had read. Strangely, the book Thiel mentioned wasn’t a book by Rene Girard, the Stanford professor – philosopher who Thiel acknowledges as a big influence, but rather an obscure book called The Sovereign Individual, written in 1997.

Thoughts on our investment in Leverage Edu

Mobility (or lack thereof) and the increased access to opportunities have often had large, and often unseen, consequences on the development of human societies, some of which are still felt globally today.


LeverageEdu, a startup that helps Indian students gain admission into the top global universities, has raised $6.5 million in its growth round of investment as it looks to double down on expansion.


An Indian startup that is bridging this gap on Thursday said it has raised $6.5 million in a new financing round as it looks to scale its platform in the world’s second-largest internet market.
