Infinite Group transforms education landscape in Sri Lanka

Infinite Group, a global leader in the education sector with a presence in over 10 countries worldwide, is leading the charge in revolutionising education services in Sri Lanka. Despite the economic downturn that saw the Sri Lankan economy shrink by 11.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2023, the Infinite Group has experienced a surge in applications for overseas education, processing an impressive number of applications following the 2023 A/Level exams, the company said in a media release.

Infinite Group is making it possible for countless Sri Lankan students through its recruitment partners to realise their dreams of studying overseas. Under the leadership of Gaurav Batra, CEO of Infinite Group, the organisation can empower its recruitment partners and their students with choices and enrich their educational experiences on a global scale.

Mr. Batra said, "Our mission is to empower our recruitment partners and their students with choices of educational experiences on a global scale. We are committed to breaking down geographical constraints and ensuring that Sri Lankan students have access to diverse cultures, academic approaches, and career pathways. With the country's economic downturn, affordability has become a matter of concern for Sri Lankan students considering higher education options. As per our recruitment partners, students are actively seeking opportunities to study in more affordable destinations, and we are working with our local partners to facilitate these needs."

According to UNESCO, in 2020, 29,000 Sri Lankans were studying abroad in higher education institutions, with significant numbers in Australia, Japan, the USA, Malaysia, and the UK. Notably, there has been a remarkable 94 per cent increase in Sri Lankan students choosing to study in Canada in 2022 compared to 2020, with the UK recording Sri Lanka as one of the top three fastest-growing markets for UK universities in 2022, showing a growth rate of 41.3 per cent. The limited capacity of local universities in Sri Lanka is a driving factor behind this trend, with only 17 state universities available in the country.

Infinite Group's vision extends beyond borders as they plan to continue expanding their global network of partners, enabling Sri Lankan students to access educational opportunities in countries around the world. This commitment enriches their learning experiences and fosters global perspectives. Infinite Group has an extensive network of partners spanning India, Sri Lanka, UAE, Philippines, Bhutan, Nepal, UK, Canada, USA, France, and beyond. With over 300 university partnerships and 2500+ global partners, the company maintains a robust industry presence.

Currently, Infinite Group's revenue stands at $14.4 million, and the company employs a dedicated team of 150 individuals who share a commitment to redefining excellence in education.
