Kuhoo Edufintech, a trailblazer in student financing, and WOJ Education, renowned for transformative education methods, have announced a groundbreaking partnership aimed at reshaping tech education and empowering students with unparalleled opportunities in India.
The partnership between Kuhoo Edufintech and WOJ Education is fueled by a shared commitment to social impact and providing greater opportunities to students from all backgrounds. By enabling access to quality education and career opportunities, the initiative aims to create a positive impact on the lives of numerous students who wish to enhance their education and skills, but are deterred by financial constraints. As a part of the collaboration, students will gain access to WOJ’s globally-recognized specialty programs in Full Cycle Software Engineering, Full Stack Development, and AI Machine Learning, with Kuhoo Edufintech as the official lending partner.
Commenting on the development, Prashant A. Bhonsle, Founder of Kuhoo Edufintech, said “Our collaboration with WOJ Education marks a significant milestone in our mission to make quality education accessible to all talented Indian students. By combining our innovative financing solutions with WOJ’s cutting-edge educational programs, we’re not just funding education; we’re investing in the future of India’s tech workforce. This partnership embodies our commitment to empowering middle-class families and ensuring that financial constraints never hinder a student’s potential.”
Started in 2021, Kuhoo Edufintech is a digital platform offering online student loan products that break away from the traditional dependency on physical bank branches or parental income qualifications. With close to 30 years in banking, student lending, FMCG, and pharma industries, including successful startup stints, Prashant has a keen understanding of the challenges students face in pursuing higher education. His vision for Kuhoo emerged from witnessing talented Indian students letting go of their aspirations for better skills and education due to economic challenges. Through Kuhoo, Prashant pursues his passion for helping talented students become self-reliant. The company paves the way for easy and fair access to education funding methods for these individuals, many of whom hail from middle-class Indian families.
WOJ Education, led by Esther Wojcicki, the “Godmother of Silicon Valley,” revolutionizes education with decades of innovative methods. Her T.R.I.C.K. method—Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration, and Kindness—has transformed learning for thousands of students, fostering collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking.
Reflecting on the impact of the partnership, Esther Wojcicki, founder of WOJ Education, said, “My T.R.I.C.K method has yielded radical results for decades in Silicon Valley California, and I am thrilled to launch WOJ Education Programs in India. Students in India have incredible potential, and believing in themselves is the first step. I founded WOJ Education to develop this potential, as many young people lack access to opportunities that build leaders and teach essential skills for today’s tech environment. Our cutting-edge computer science programs, implemented with my T.R.I.C.K method, will pave the way for success in tech and entrepreneurship for WOJ graduates. Our strong partnership with Kuhoo ensures no financial barriers for students and reinforces our shared commitment to scalable social impact.”
