Reader-supported · independent · no ads

Pay so the writing stays honest.

No banner ads. No affiliate links. No lead-gen forms hiding behind the articles. If this site helped you make a decision worth lakhs, it should be the readers who fund it, not the companies trying to sell to them.

I made a decision when I started this site: no banner ads, no affiliate links to lenders or consultants, no lead-generation arrangements with anyone trying to sell to you.

That decision has a cost. Someone has to pay for this site to exist. I think it should be the readers who get value from it, not the companies who profit from your decisions.

If this site helped you avoid a fifty lakh mistake, or helped you make a better-informed decision about something that will define the next ten years of your life, consider supporting it. If it did not help you, do not.

The number does not matter. The principle does. You and I both want this site to stay independent. This is how that happens.

Why not ads or affiliates?

Because the moment a lender, a consultant, or an agent pays this site, the writing starts to bend toward them. Slowly. Invisibly. Then suddenly. I have seen what that does to other study-abroad sites in India. I would rather earn less and tell the truth than earn more and recommend the wrong loan, the wrong country, or the wrong consultant to someone who trusted me.
