Some are already living their dreams overseas, while others are just beginning. Their stories are honest, emotional, and deeply inspiring — a reminder that you're never alone in your journey.
Let these voices light the path ahead.

The Lighthouse
Frame by Frame with Nishchay
From Delhi-NCR to Boston — and almost Canada in between — Nishchay Malik’s story is a masterclass in choosing purpose over predictability. In Episode 5 of The Lighthouse, Nishchay, a 20-year-old student at Northeastern University, opens up about his bold leap from comfort to challenge, from being “sorted” in India to starting over in the U.S. through upGrad’s Accelerated Pathway.
With the ambition of a storyteller, Nishchay shares what life’s really like as an international student: building friendships from scratch, finding creative freedom, handling visa hiccups, and learning that true growth starts when you step out of your bubble.
