SINGAPORE, Jan. 20, 2025 — Manifest Global, a new global education investment firm headquartered in Singapore, announces its formation as the parent company of Cialfo, Explore, and Kaaiser; leading brands in global education.
Aiming to connect the world through progress and innovation, Manifest Global seeks to elevate global standards in international student mobility. It will achieve this by connecting education stakeholders using technology and top-tier services.
Cialfo, a Singapore-based edtech leader since 2017, has been restructured to become a cornerstone of Manifest Global. Now operating independently under Manifest Global, Cialfo serves the K12 market, Explore focuses on student and counselor outreach for universities, and Kaaiser provides student placement services. This restructuring demonstrates Manifest Global’s commitment to ensuring all students have access to higher education.
Rohan Pasari, CEO of Manifest Global, stated, “Manifest Global marks a significant step in our mission to transform global education. By uniting brands like Cialfo, Explore, and now Kaaiser, we’re creating a unified ecosystem focused on simplifying global student mobility and fostering connections between students, parents, educators, and institutions worldwide.”
Investment in Kaaiser: Enhancing Global Student Mobility
Manifest Global is pleased to announce a strategic investment in Kaaiser, a New Delhi-based education company specializing in international student counseling.
Founded in 1997, Kaaiser is a member of the Association of Australian Education Representatives in India (AAERI) and has helped many Indian students access educational opportunities in Australia and elsewhere. Notably, Kaaiser represents Australia’s prestigious Group of 8 universities.
Kaaiser’s strong reputation and partnerships with leading Australian universities make it a valuable asset for Manifest Global.
Regarding the Kaaiser investment, Rohan added, “Kaaiser’s established presence in the Indian international higher-ed market, and expertise in connecting students with top institutions, made them a perfect fit for Manifest Global. We’re investing in a company, and in the future of countless students who will benefit from increased access and resources.”
Kapil Chandok, Founder-Director of Kaaiser, commented, “Joining Manifest Global is transformative for Kaaiser. This investment will improve the student journey from application to enrollment.
