The APS Story

In 1993, a young and ambitious 20-year-old Anirban embarked on a life-changing journey. He landed in Australia as an international student pursuing a Diploma in Hospitality. It was the early '90s, and the sight of Indian students in a predominantly white Australia was rare.

Anirban’s first day in class was a revelation. The classroom was a melting pot of cultures, with everyone on a first-name basis—no formalities, just a community of learners. For the first time, Anirban didn't feel like an outsider. This was a stark contrast to his previous educational experiences in India. He discovered that learning could be engaging and enjoyable.

Over the next three years, the study abroad experience profoundly shaped Anirban. Interacting with a diverse student body, working part-time at the iconic MCG, competing in New Zealand, and backpacking across Australia—these experiences broadened his horizons in ways he had never imagined.

When Anirban returned to India, he was driven by a singular vision: to share the transformative power of studying abroad with more Indian students. And thus, APS World Education was born.

Starting APS World Education, a unit of APS Consultancy Services, was no easy feat. The early years were filled with challenges, but Anirban's unwavering dedication and expertise soon began to shine. Word spread about his insightful counseling, and soon, hundreds of students sought his guidance for their study abroad dreams.

Today, as APS celebrates 27 years of operation, Anirban remains as committed as ever. He continues to offer personalised 1:1 counselling, ensuring each student receives the expert guidance needed to navigate their academic journey and achieve their goals.
