In today’s episode of Staying Indian, we are joined by Mr. Kasper Baars, the Co-founder of Discov.Ai to find top universities to study abroad. Kasper here shares his journey of creating a digital student-university matchmaker aimed at assisting students in finding and applying to their dream universities abroad.

As a former international student, Kasper recognized the challenges students face firsthand to find the right university to study abroad. He identified the lack of resources for international students to assess their compatibility with universities, understand post-university opportunities, assess return on investment, and more.
This realization inspired Kasper to establish Discov.AI, a free platform empowering students to explore and determine the best university abroad fit for themselves. Discov.Ai utilizes data-driven insights and personalized guidance tailored to each student’s academic interests and non-academic preferences, including sports, nightlife, arts and culture, budget considerations, and diversity. By simply completing a needs assessment, students receive a personalized University Match Report featuring their top study options, along with detailed explanations of each university, all provided at no cost.
During our conversation, we discuss the frequently asked questions by students planning to study abroad, such as the best countries for international study, available scholarships for Indian students, and the overall cost of studying abroad.
Kasper also provides insights into financial planning for studying abroad, highlighting costs in popular destinations like the USA, UK, and Australia, while also suggesting best countries to study abroad. Moreover, Kasper shares unique features of Discov.AI, including free university matching reports, visual tours of campuses and cities, and personalized guidance—all offered without charge to help students select the top universities to study abroad.
Additionally, Kasper sheds light on common scams and fraudulent activities prevalent among study abroad consultants and foreign agencies driven by commissions, emphasizing the importance of vigilance against such practices. We further explore the current trends of the study abroad market, noting the increasing number of Indian students pursuing overseas education.
Kasper reveals that a significant portion of Discov.AI’s traffic originates from India. We also discuss challenges students abroad face, such as job hunting, housing, healthcare, and more. Looking ahead, we discuss the future of Discov.AI and its upcoming features designed to support students studying abroad. Kasper outlines how the platform aims to assist students and elaborates on their future plans.
