Ambitio

A small update that is close to my heart for many reasons. We have been working out of a coworking space ever since we started but no more. Ambitio now has a new address! :D Today, we inaugurated our very own new office in Sector 1, HSR Layout, Bangalore. Firsts are always memorable. So happy and proud of what we have accomplished so far and we are just getting started. After a stellar quarter, we are growing and moving faster than ever. 🥂 Back to work now. Vikrant | Ambitio

100k daily organic impressions on GSC. We started working on our SEO last year. This Monday, we hit a major milestone, 100k organic impressions. In the last 12 months, we have come a long and there's a lot more to do :D The programmatic SEO combined with our 1500+ dense blogs helped us build a stronger topline of users discovering Ambitio. We were also able to build a domain rating(DR) of 64+ enabling us to rank faster than the others. Our solid team of two Atul & Aparna P, led by Naveen has been terrifically executing. Kudos to their hard work & efforts. You folks are awesome! Here's to 1 Million daily impressions soon! ;) PS: We are hiring content writers to reach the above milestone sooner rather than later, DMs open. Vikrant | Ambitio

July was terrifically good for us at Ambitio! We hit our ATH on Monthly Revenue. Growing 235% MoM and 18x YoY in the revenues. Crossing the last cycle's peak already(Believe me when I say, seasonality in Edtech is crazy) Another interesting thing I found as I was looking back on numbers was, that more than 35% of our paid subscriptions came from referrals. We did that without a proper referral system placed on our platform. It was just past and existing users sharing their experiences and talking about the "Ambitio Difference" in their network/peer group — all organically. I believe that the only way to succeed in Edtech is to have a high bar for customer experience and over-indexing actual outcomes. That's how you maintain your CAC and sustain growth in the long term. PS: We are building some awesome stuff at Ambitio leveraging AI & data — and we are hiring! DMs Open. Vikrant | Ambitio #startups #edtech #studyabroad

User Signups in June 2024 > Total User Signups in 2023 As half of 2024 has gone by, I was looking at the numbers. One interesting thing I found was that June signups were more than all of the signups we had in 2023. And most of this user growth is organic(product/referral driven). We spent a lot of time and detail on the product and it feels so good that our users are loving it. Not just that, June has been a great month in terms of revenue as well. We did 2.7x MoM growth in Revenue. Being long on building SEO and communities is now getting us amazing results. Our recommendation and referral flywheel is taking shape! So excited as we are moving towards this 1 -> 10 journey of building Ambitio. PS: We are hiring for multiple roles in AI/BD/Marketing and my DMs are open! :D Vikrant | Ambitio #startups #highereducation #buildinginpublic #studyabroad

What started as a way to help our friends make the right choice and get into their dream school, is now a thriving venture challenging the status quo. As the global higher education market is growing at a rapid pace with increased awareness and ease of access to capital. Now, more number of people don’t want to just study abroad, they want to study in a school that actually brings them closer to their goals. That’s what we, at Ambitio stand for, to empower ambitious individuals, accomplish their dreams. Getting our efforts acknowledged and featured by Inc42 Media as one of the '30 Startups to Watch Out For' fills me with immense pride. Kudos to Vikrant and our entire team for working relentlessly toward our mission to help students get into their dream schools globally  — You guys are just amazing! Here’s to building and not settling for less! 🥂

We have been featured by Inc42 Media as one of the ‘30 Startups to Watch Out For’

Two years ago, I made a choice! The choice to drop my plans of Masters Abroad and start Ambitio. Wasn’t an easy choice – but having faced all these problems first hand, I took that leap of faith to start my entrepreneurial journey. And today we have hit one big milestone! Proud to annouce Ambitio’s pre seed round. Our First Round is led First Cheque, one of the most loved early stage investors in India. The first phone call was more than an hour long, Prateek asked dozens of questions. And after another few meetings, we got our first TS! FC really moves pretty fast - love this about them. A special thanks to Pardeep Singh Bajwa for being the first believer! Your faith in me has been a great motivator. Couldn’t have done this without you, Vivek Kaushal - much thanks for helping me get it through and getting onboard. Lastly, much thanks to my co founder, Vikrant Shivalik – for being my pillar of strength! You are just awesome. We are here and just getting started! 🚀 PS: News articles in comments.

We had our first All-hands meeting! Communication and alignment are very important pillars in an early-stage startup - especially in a hybrid setup! We celebrated the milestones accomplished and discussed about the big goals we have in front of us. PS: We are also hiring in our Biz-dev team. Come join us!
