Speaking on the launch, Ruchir Arora, co-founder and CEO, CollegeDekho.com, said, “While some students search for and plan out their careers meticulously, most of them are often not so prepared due to lack of access to the latest information and tools to assist them in decision making. The launch of our CollegeDekho Cafes will provide a physical extension of our peerless tech-based solutions and assist students in finding a college and a course that best suits their interests and skill sets. This initiative will help students in these cities make the most appropriate college choices using up-to-date information about prospective colleges, courses and career opportunities.”
