“We at ASL aim to transform the student journey and add value to their overseas education endeavour at every step. Our ultimate goal is to provide a holistic ecosystem for the student community and make the entire journey to study abroad a hassle-free experience," said Amit Singh, founder of ASL. 

Launched in 2020, Adventum Student Living (ASL) helps students to find accommodation and education loans via its online platforms - UniAcco, UniCreds, and UniScholarz. It also helps students pursuing overseas higher education with various services. The startup aims to reduce the dependency of students on career counsellors, student loan consultants and accommodation providers. 

“The funding allows us to strategically expand the three business entities. ASL will further strengthen its position in the global market by enforcing strategies and expanding various divisions within the company along with other key functions. ASL has been a profitable venture from the first year of operation while growing at 400% YoY," said Sayantan Biswas, co-founder of Adventum Student Learning.
