Arvind Jain
Founder, UniNexaGlobal
Arvind has spent years advising students on their education and their future. He also owns and runs student accommodation in Kota, Rajasthan, India's best-known centre for students preparing for competitive exams.
That means he knows what students and their parents worry about when someone leaves home to study: a safe place to live, honest guidance, and someone to call when things don't go to plan. UniNexaGlobal brings that same care to students moving from India to Belfast.
