Education financing and university-matching platform for Indian students
GradRight operates a three-sided marketplace connecting Indian students to overseas master's programs, universities seeking enrollment, and lenders competing on education loans. The tech stack is modern and containerized (Node.js, MongoDB, Kubernetes, AWS EKS, RabbitMQ), but hiring is heavily weighted toward marketing (8 roles) over engineering (3), with active projects spanning partner campaigns, landing pages, and digital advertising — signaling a customer-acquisition and funnel-optimization focus ahead of infrastructure scaling.

GradRight helps students in India access master's programs at universities in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe. The platform bundles three core functions: AI-driven university shortlisting (SelectRight), transparent education loan bidding among multiple lenders (FundRight), and university brand-building services targeting Indian cohorts. The company operates a multi-stakeholder ecosystem spanning students, over 1,000 partner universities, and 15+ financial institutions. Headquarters are in Gurugram; all hiring is currently India-based.
