About Us – Sunshine Study Abroad

We began as whispers around a kitchen table in Mumbai, three friends who had struggled through the maze of studying abroad. I still remember Priya’s frustrated tears as she sorted through contradicting visa information, the way Arjun’s hands trembled when he opened his acceptance letter, how my own stomach knotted each time I calculated conversion rates for tuition fees.

Sunshine Study Abroad wasn’t born in a boardroom, but from those raw, vulnerable moments when we wished someone had simply told us the truth about what lay ahead.

Our portal exists not to sell dreams or process applications, but to illuminate the path for Indian students who, like us, feel both the magnetic pull of global education and the anchoring weight of uncertainty. We share knowledge unvarnished by consultancy fees or commission structures – just honest insights from those who have walked this road before.

In every article we craft, every guide we develop, you’ll find the fingerprints of personal experience. The midnight panic about documentation deadlines. The first bewildering week in a foreign grocery store. The unexpected joy of explaining Holi to wide-eyed roommates.

Behind this vision stands Sneh Gondaliya, the sole founder and owner whose own study abroad journey left him transformed yet troubled by how unnecessarily complex the process had been. The sleepless nights researching scholarship deadlines in his Ahmedabad apartment, the tearful phone calls home during his first winter abroad, the triumph of his graduation day when his parents, who had never left India before, watched him cross the stage – these moments crystallized his resolve that no Indian student should navigate this path without a guiding light.

We are not consultants. We are narrators of a journey that thousands of Indian students embark upon yearly – storytellers who believe that information, shared authentically, can transform an overwhelming process into an empowering one.

Our community has grown from Sneh’s initial vision to thousands of contributors – students and alumni whose voices echo in our forums, whose experiences color our content. Each has entrusted us with their story, and we carry that responsibility with reverence.

Welcome to our hearth. May the information you find here light your path forward.
