Manifest Global Acquires EduGo Abroad to Expand Europe Corridor and Accelerate AI-Driven Student Mobility

SINGAPORE AND AHMEDABAD, INDIA, AUGUST 24, 2026: Manifest Global announced the acquisition of EduGo Abroad, one of India's leading platforms for European higher education. EduGo Abroad joins Manifest's portfolio of international education businesses, which includes Cialfo, BridgeU, Kaaiser, and Explore.

Europe is increasingly moving from an alternative study destination to a first-choice corridor for internationally mobile students. With active policy support for student mobility across the region, Europe has become one of the world’s most connected higher education markets.

Manifest is building the AI operating system for global human capital mobility: it identifies talent, develops it, and moves it across borders. It is acting on its long-term strategy of backing strong regional operators and combining them with AI to reshape cross-border education.

Founded in 2009 by brothers Chintan and Bhargav Modi, EduGo Abroad has built a strong position in European higher education through long-standing relationships with more than 280 universities and colleges across 18 European countries, and has placed close to 10,000 students to date, supported by a channel partner network across India and the wider region.

The more than 80,000 students who choose universities outside their home country each year across Manifest's platforms can now consider Europe alongside the destinations the group already serves. EduGo's university partners can expect to gain access to these students in more than 150 countries, and to the AI-powered tools already changing how universities find, engage and enrol students.

"EduGo Abroad built its position in Europe before the market moved there," said Rohan Pasari, CEO of Manifest Global. “Our approach is to back operators who know their corridor better than anyone else, and to give them AI and reach they could not build alone. Chintan, Bhargav, and their team are those operators."

"In Manifest Global we have found a powerful new home for EduGo Abroad and for the partners who have grown with us," said Chintan Modi, Managing Director of EduGo Abroad. "Our partners get more destinations and Manifest's transformative AI technology. Our universities get access to students well beyond India. For everyone who has grown with EduGo, the ambition just got larger."

Manifest and EduGo are already jointly developing new capabilities for channel partners, with EduGo’s network among the first to benefit. This is the first chapter in a larger story, one where AI, data, and deep corridor expertise combine to move talent across the world at a scale no single operator could reach. More will follow.
