Bridging Vision
with Global Opportunity

Sanmesh Malvankar brings over 18 years of cross-industry leadership to SRSM International, spanning global talent acquisition, key account strategy, and international education. Most recently as Regional Manager at IU International University of Applied Sciences, Germany, he operated at the heart of global student recruitment — building institutional partnerships and driving market expansion across MENA, CIS, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. His earlier tenure at KPMG and BDO India sharpened a rare employer's-eye perspective that most education consultants simply don't possess. Combined with a counselling background and fluency across cultures, Sanmesh connects students not just to the right university — but to a genuinely viable career pathway.

With over 20 years of dedicated experience in international education counselling, Purnima Rao has guided scores of students toward the right universities, the right courses, and the careers they deserve. Her expertise spans end-to-end student support — from course selection and applications through to visa guidance — with a trusted track record across the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. Purnima has built her reputation at some of the most respected names in the industry, including Geebee Education and Eduoptions Germany, and most recently served as Head of Client Services, where she led university liaison, team training, and student success optimisation. At SRSM International, she brings that wealth of experience — and a genuine passion for helping students achieve their global ambitions.
