1. Why did you choose to study in Australia?

I am originally from Ghaziabad in India, and I chose study in Australia to pursue an independent life. I chose the University of Queensland as it gave me the opportunity to study with a scholarship. Another reason was that the university is ranked amongst the top 50 universities in the world.

2. How was IDP able to help you?

I chose IDP because it is trustworthy brand. The best part is that the service is free of cost for students. The education counsellors at IDP are proactive and very friendly. I would like to give a shout out to Bhawna from IDP Noida for helping me during my application process.

3. Are there any (major) challenges you faced?

Initially, there were a lot of challenges that I faced. It was very difficult to adapt to a new culture and I didn’t think I’d need to cook as much as I have had to! I found the first six months to be OK eating out every day. However, after 6 months I found it tough to continue to eat outside. I’ve had to learn how to cook ever since.

4. How did you approach your job search (part-time/full-time)?

I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Following my dream to start a business, I’ve started a Bollywood Nights Company in March 2023 that organises Bollywood Night events primarily for the Indian community.

5. What are your goals for your career in Australia?

I have big dreams and I am keen to build a unicorn business. I would like to grow my current events business. At the same time, I want to invest money in different business ventures in Australia.
