In a world where students are overwhelmed with endless study abroad options and often misled by unreliable information, Devyani Khare stands out as a trusted voice. As the Founder of RISEUP Education Consultants, she has spent over a decade guiding students with clarity, ethics, and accurate advice.
Her journey is not just about building a successful overseas education consultancy; it’s about transforming lives through the power of the right guidance at the right time.
A Purpose-Driven Career in Overseas Education
Devyani Khare’s entry into the overseas education industry was intentional. Early in her career, she observed a critical gap between student aspirations and access to reliable information about global education systems.
This realization shaped her mission:
to provide trusted study abroad guidance and help students make informed decisions.
Before founding RISEUP, she led the South Asia office for a prestigious U.S. university for over 15 years. During this time, she:
- Counseled 10,000+ students
- Built strong international partnerships
- Developed deep expertise in USA, UK, UAE, and global admissions processes
Her global exposure, from the USA to Russia and across Asia, helped her build a unique, real-world perspective on international education.
The Courage Behind Career Transformation
In 2005, Devyani made a bold decision that many would avoid.
While working as a Visa Officer in a high-growth corporate role, she chose to step away. The reason wasn’t professional, it was personal. She prioritized her family, taking a pay cut and restarting her career in the overseas education field.
This decision became the foundation of her success.
Instead of chasing prestige, she chose purpose. And that clarity continues to define her leadership in the study abroad consulting industry today.
Building RISEUP: A Leading Study Abroad Consultancy
Today, RISEUP Education Consultants is more than just an admission consultancy, it is a complete student support ecosystem.
Under Devyani’s leadership, the organization has evolved into a trusted study abroad consultancy offering:
- University admissions guidance
- Student visa support
- Education loan and financial planning assistance
- Accommodation and meal plan partnerships
- Documentation and courier services
- Alumni networking and mentorship programs
The philosophy is simple:
A student’s journey doesn’t end with admission, and neither does RISEUP’s support.
What also sets RISEUP apart is its women-led leadership model, built on trust, transparency, and long-term relationships.
Recognition as a Trusted Overseas Education Leader
In 2026, Devyani Khare was honored with the Maharashtra Excellence Award 2026 as a Trusted Leader in Overseas Education Consultation.
But for her, awards are secondary.
Her true achievement lies in the strong alumni network she has built, students she guided 15–20 years ago who still stay connected today. That kind of trust cannot be manufactured; it is earned through consistent results and genuine care.
A Philosophy That Drives Success
Unlike generic motivational advice, Devyani’s message to students and professionals is grounded in reality:
“Be consistent, be courageous, and be disciplined. Success is built through small, consistent efforts—not big moments.”
This philosophy is exactly why she continues to be a respected name in the study abroad consulting industry.
Why Choosing the Right Study Abroad Consultant Matters
Many students today struggle with:
- Confusing university options
- Misleading information
- Poor visa guidance
- Lack of long-term support
Working with an experienced overseas education consultant like Devyani Khare ensures:
- Accurate information
- Ethical guidance
- Personalized career advice
- Long-term support beyond admissions
This is what separates a good consultancy from a trusted education partner.
Devyani Khare’s journey proves one thing clearly:
Right guidance can completely change a student’s life.
Through RISEUP Education Consultants, she has not only helped thousands of students achieve their study abroad dreams but has also redefined what ethical and student-first consulting should look like.
