Message from Mr. Badri Jaisi-Global Director

Namaste!

I believe, the globalization is an evolutionary process of civilization which is significantly influenced by the positive energy and optimism amongst the young generations today and many more generations to come. What makes the generation even stronger, and hopeful is the opportunity to advance education and better harmony. As a Global Director of Mates International – Education and Visa Services, it gives me immense pleasure to see my team members understanding our perception of globalization and their dedication to help thousands of international students achieve their goal every year.

Established in 2007, we have branched out to Nepal, India, Myanmar, Philippines, Malaysia and from multiple locations of Australia with our local offices. About the standard of quality, we offer a customized counselling to every student since we believe that every student is unique in nature, competency, and his / her own aspiration. So, our business is not how many students we enroll every year but how many successful students have we assisted so far. Over the period of one and a half decade, the achievement of our student is what we humbly and proudly consider as our achievement, too. With globalization, there also comes the massive competition and our advice, to you dear students, is to be research oriented and always look out for the best opportunity. We will always offer the best options, adequate information and make sure that all our candidates meet the Genuine Temporary Entrant standards set by compliance authorities.

In context of Post Covid-19 situations, our responsibility as an education consultant has obviously increased but this also means our students are entering into the new era of hope, success, and responsibility. I welcome all our education partners, our hard-working students, and our dedicated team members to join hands together to fight as the ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE for the better tomorrow. Thank you and see you in Australia. 

Message from Mr. Shankar Dharel-Director - Australia

G’day 

I’m Shankar Dharel, Director Melbourne & Myanmar Office, and mostly based in Melbourne.

As an individual, what I mostly tell myself, to my students or friends or say stakeholders, is that we should always be prepared for the transition in our lives. Every now and then, if there is anything we see constantly changing around us is the change itself and what makes us strong is the readiness to adoptability!

I started my career as a teacher. So, besides teaching, I loved motivating my students, show the right directions and guide them to learn what is ‘achievement’ and how to succeed in obtaining that. Later, I chose to work in abroad study industry here in Australia, mainly for international students, and I am extremely happy to help them.  I love motivating my students to understand the value of time and money that international students spend for better education. This is exactly where I love to tell then what ‘Transition Phase’ is and also love helping them find out the best possible option to learn adaptability. 

The major chunks of students I help are from Nepal, India, Philippines, Laos, Fiji and Myanmar and as usual, I feel immensely happy to help you all. Please feel free to knock my office door in Melbourne since I have an open door policy. Thank you and see you soon !!

Message from Mr. Prakash Pandey-Managing Director - Nepal

Dear Student,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you for your effort to land in this page and read through my message because this signifies your concern to know about the person responsible for a company that has successfully landed thousands of students for over decade and a half. So, naturally it is my professional obligation that I share the true story of our business and my job here. 

I often travel overseas to see the institutions I wish to work with and meet their representatives to ensure that my team is able to disseminate the first hand information to students and parents. The trips cover the duties ranging from developing and managing international networks, meeting with delegates on a compliance level and government bodies, representatives, past students, current students and other key external stakeholders. I have a globalized perspective of international education, marketing, immigration law, student mobility and consumer behavior in the International Education, and I regularly attend at conferences including ICEF, WEBA, FICCI Education Conference and British Council IES Conference.

I am one of the very few PIER certified QEAC (Qualified Education Agent Counsellor) working in Nepal with identification number H057 and ICEF certified ITAC (ICEF Trained Agent Counsellor) with award number ITAC0343. I was topper with only Distinction among the education consultants in Nepal in the First Agent Certification Exam held by British Council, Kathmandu, Nepal in November 2006.

I understand that the current situation at Post-Pandemic scenario has raised a lot of question about stability of the business and has further created questions about the reliability on the credibility of education consultancies. However, what I can assure you is that, Mates International – Education & Visa Services will never be your ‘Wrong Address’ to visit to authenticate & validate your perspectives and ideas about Abroad Study plan. Give a try, thousands of students have already done so. See you soon.

Message from Ms. Pratima Regmi Pandey-Manager - Coordination & International Affairs

I am Pratima Pandey Regmi and have been serving the company since its establishment as a Manager – Coordination & International Affairs. While we are stepping into the 15th years of operation, it gives me immense pleasure to see that the students we have served over the years have secured a safe positions around the globe and back home. 

As soon as a student decides to proceed with abroad study plan, every step, thereafter, becomes more and more important from securing an offer letter (conditional / unconditional) until the visa grant. As an MBA graduate myself, I intend to minutely scrutinise every aspect of compliance requirements of each applicant and make sure that everything is at the right order from an administrative & compliance perspectives. On the other side, maintaining the direct communication with international delegates and administration of different colleges and universities we represent also requires my role to be very attentive to the details. In nutshell, correspondeing with all the stakeholders, such as students, universities / colleges via smooth communication and to the visa compliance department are the jobs I have been successfully performing for over a decade and a half. I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone involved in the process and look forward to conduct the successful coordination with you all in future, too. 

Thank you. 

Message from Mr. Anjan Kandel-Chief Operating Officer

I am Anjan Kadel, Chief Operating Officer (COO), at Mates International – Education & Visa services from the very beginning of the company establishment. I Graduated from Tribhuvan University in Business Studies and in the Education Consultancy Industry since 2007. I am a problem solver and always intend to be a part of the team by motivating them for the mutual growth. In the fourteen years, I have been part of the Mates wearing multiple hats at various departments of the company such as Account, Counselling, Documentation and Operation and Management.

Though we are fully equipped with wonderful team members in the company, I would always welcome our students if they need any kind of counselling on financial planning, documentation and implementation.
