About

I am Smita Patil, a dynamic entrepreneur with a track record of turning ideas into successful ventures. Currently, I am the founder and CEO of Overseasway, where we guide and empower students to pursue their dreams of studying abroad. Overseas Education Maverick In my current role, I lead a team of dedicated professionals to provide comprehensive guidance to students aspiring for international education. Having worked closely with overseas agents across India, I possess in-depth insights into the intricacies of the global education system. Our consultancy is committed to ensuring that students receive accurate information and personalized assistance on their academic journey abroad. Entrepreneurial Spirit Prior to diving into the education sector, I lead and successfully managed a tech startup Lixr that help bring together a community of party goers. Additionally, my entrepreneurial journey includes a delightful stint in the culinary world with a patisserie named Sugar Pie that catered to gourmet desserts admirers. These ventures have equipped me with a versatile skill set and a keen understanding of diverse industries. Corporate Expertise Before venturing into entrepreneurship, I honed my skills in sales and operations with leading multinational corporations in the realms of job recruitment, banking, and finance. As a seasoned professional, I played a pivotal role in optimizing sales and operational processes at Monster.com, HSBC Bank & GECIS. Let's Connect I am always eager to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, education enthusiasts, and professionals who share a passion for making a positive impact. Whether you're exploring opportunities, seeking advice, or simply want to connect, feel free to reach out!
