About the role
Dukaandaars Wanted
Who We Are
Founded in 2017, Edoofa believes higher education should build careers, not just secure admissions. We own the whole journey:
admissions, scholarships, mentorship, employability training, internships and international career pathways. Education is
accountability for outcomes.
Edoofa is the largest and most trusted higher education platform in the Africa-India corridor: 7,000+ students from Zimbabwe,
Zambia, Malawi, South Africa, Ghana and other African nations, with over 65% of enrolments coming from alumni referrals. Its
foundation is Anhad Edutrain Solutions (2009, founded by Avreen and Angad Singh), a decade-long proving ground with 200+
Indian university partners and employability programmes at scale.
Why Africa
Edoofa enables about 1,000 African students a year to study in India. Average ticket size grew from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,00,000 per
student in five years and is expected to reach Rs 1.5 to 2 lakhs in 2 to 3 years. Scaling to 5,000 to 6,000 enrolments a year takes
Edoofa to Rs 100 crore by compounding what already works. Rs 100 to 500 crore and beyond is structural: Africa has 1.4 billion
people, a median age of about 19, and fewer than 2,000 institutions delivering higher education with real employability
outcomes. The path is to bring Africans to India first, then take outcome-driven Indian education to Africa itself.
Why Build at Edoofa
Edoofa is not for people seeking entitlement, safety or predictable ladders. We hire Dukaandaar, people who treat their role like
a business. You get handed a problem, and if you solve it you earn trust, responsibility and growth at a pace few careers offer.
This is not a placement or a safe first job. It is an arena for builders: a chance to be a founder of your own career without the
financial liability of starting up.
• Earning upside: 2X compensation by Year 2 and 3 to 4X by Year 5 for the highest-ownership Dukaandaar. For a few
exceptional builders, a genuine chance at a first crore, even a first million dollars, in 3 to 5 years through planned
structured liquidity.
The Dukaandaar Code: Rise. Complete. Serve. Dare.

Not a culture document but a filter. These are operating standards, not aspirations.
Rise Chardi Kala You rise to meet difficulty and do not wait for ideal conditions. The standard does not lower when
things get uncomfortable. Neither do you.
Complete Nishkam
Karma
Not attempt, not progress: complete. You finish what you start, follow up without reminders and do
not negotiate the standard down. Output is the only currency.
Serve Seva Service is an orientation, not a job description. You gain fulfilment from helping students, families
and colleagues grow.
Dare Karm Yogi You are here to build, not for a salary. You take on problems beyond your current capability. Safe
paths bore you.

The Role at a Glance
Role Mentor, Department of Student Affairs, 1 position
Location On-campus, Palwal & Hisar, Haryana
Reporting Head of Student Affairs
Trajectory Student Affairs Leadership, Campus Operations, Equity Eligible
Is This You?
You listen first. You stay calm when others do not. You are dependable in a way people notice, and you genuinely enjoy helping
a young person feel at home somewhere new.
You also care about follow-through. Support is not a feeling to you, it is something you deliver, track and see through to
resolution.
Why This Role Exists
At Edoofa, securing a university admission is only the beginning. Our responsibility continues when international students arrive
in India, settle into campus life, pursue their degrees and prepare for meaningful careers.
The Mentor is Edoofa’s trusted, visible presence on campus: the first person students approach when they need guidance,
reassurance, accountability or help solving a problem. You are not simply coordinating student activities. You help students feel
supported, stay on track and thrive. This is a hands-on, campus-facing ownership role, and you stay accountable for outcomes,
not just reports.
What You Will Own
• Student mentoring and wellbeing: Be the approachable point of contact for Edoofa students. Listen, guide, resolve routine
concerns and escalate sensitive or urgent matters promptly through the right channels.
• Academic engagement and accountability: Monitor attendance, academic participation and early warning signs. Follow up
with students and coordinate with university teams to help them stay on course.
• Onboarding and campus integration: Support new arrivals with orientation, university processes, campus navigation and
adjustment to life in India. Foster belonging across cultures.
• University and internal coordination: Build productive working relationships with faculty, administration, hostel teams and
Edoofa’s Student Affairs function. Maintain clear, timely updates and follow-through.
• Student activities and development: Encourage participation in campus events, community initiatives, life-skills activities
and career-readiness opportunities that enrich the student journey.
• Documentation and issue tracking: Maintain accurate student records, activity updates and issue logs. Track each concern
through to resolution while respecting student privacy.
The Mandate at a Glance
Student welfare Students feel safe, heard, supported and connected to the right resources.
Academic progress Attendance, engagement and academic concerns are tracked and addressed early.
Campus coordination Clear communication with university teams, students and Edoofa leadership.
Student experience Smooth onboarding, meaningful activities and prompt issue resolution.
The real test: every Edoofa student on your campus should know whom to turn to, and trust that you will follow through.
What the Daily Work Looks Like
You will spend time with students, proactively identify concerns, coordinate with university stakeholders and remain
accountable for outcomes. Some situations will require patience, discretion, empathy and calm judgment. You should know
when to solve a problem independently and when to involve the Head of Student Affairs.
Who Will Thrive Here
A compassionate, dependable and proactive person with strong interpersonal and communication skills. Someone organised
and culturally sensitive, comfortable working on-site in Palwal or Hisar, and able to build trust with young international students
while maintaining professional boundaries.
What You Need to Bring
• Must have: Strong interpersonal and communication skills with genuine empathy; cultural sensitivity and the ability to
build trust with international students; organised, reliable and consistent at follow-through; discretion with student
information and sound judgment on when to escalate; willingness to work on-site in Palwal or Hisar.
• Good to have: Experience in peer mentoring, student council, NSS, NCC or similar student-facing roles; exposure to
counselling, psychology or education coursework; experience coordinating campus events or student activities.
• Where this leads: You will directly shape the day-to-day experience of African students pursuing higher education in India,
influencing how supported they feel, how confidently they navigate challenges and how successfully they grow beyond the
classroom. Strong performers can grow into Student Affairs leadership and campus operations roles.
