Ora for Study Abroad Consultants: Answer Students and Parents on WhatsApp, 24×7
What Ora does for a study abroad or overseas education consultancy, which jobs it takes off your team, and how much it saves: real screens, sample chats and a plain cost comparison.
On this page
Students research universities at midnight, and parents ask about costs and loans in their own language. Every consultancy in your city gets the same enquiry, and the one that replies first with a clear answer usually gets the counselling session.
This guide shows what Ora does for a study abroad consultancy, which jobs it takes off your team, and what that saves in rupees. Every screen below is the real Ora dashboard, set up for a sample Vadodara consultancy we call GlobalPath Overseas Education.
The problem: students ask at night, counsellors reply in the morning
Most enquiries ask the same things:
- Which country and course fits my marks?
- Total cost, scholarships and loans
- IELTS, PTE and other tests
- Visa timelines and documents
- Intakes and deadlines
- Enrolled students asking what is pending in their file
Counsellors end up spending hours on status updates instead of new students.
What Ora does for a study abroad consultancy
Ora is an AI assistant that answers on your WhatsApp, Instagram and website, learns from your own documents (countries, typical costs, intakes, visa checklists), and passes real conversations to your team.
1. Answers students and books counselling
A student asks about Canada at 11 PM. Ora gives a typical cost, asks about IELTS and books a free counselling session for Saturday.
2. Speaks to parents in their language
Parents ask about cost and loans in Gujarati, Hindi or Punjabi. Ora answers in the same language and books your counsellor.
3. Handles visa questions and file status
Visa timelines from Instagram, and enrolled students checking what is pending, answered from your checklists.
4. A student pipeline
Every student with country, course and intake. Enrolments move to Won with your fee.
5. Counselling and visa checks on a calendar
Counselling sessions, visa document checks and IELTS demo classes, with reminders.
6. Hot-lead alerts
AI reads each enquiry: students ready to apply go to your senior counsellor at once.
What Ora replaces
Ora does not replace your counsellors or their university knowledge. It replaces the repetitive part of first replies, booking and status updates.
| Work today | Who does it now | With Ora |
|---|---|---|
| First reply to enquiries | Telecaller | Ora, instantly |
| Cost and country questions | Telecaller | Ora answers |
| Booking counselling | Front office | Ora books |
| "What is pending in my file?" | Counsellor | Ora answers from checklists |
| Lead tracking | Student CRM | Leads board |
| Late-night enquiries | Next day | Ora |
How much it saves
Here is the monthly cost for a study abroad consultancy in Vadodara, before and after.
| Without Ora | With Ora | |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry telecaller | ₹17,000 | Ora answers and books |
| Counsellor time on status questions | ₹14,000 | Ora answers from checklists |
| WhatsApp Business tool | ₹3,000 | Included |
| Student CRM | ₹3,500 | Included |
| Total a month | ₹37,500 | ₹12,493 |
That is about ₹25,000 saved every month, or roughly ₹3 lakh a year.
How we worked it out:
- Salaries and tool prices are typical for Vadodara and similar cities. Yours will differ, so plug in your own.
- The Ora price is WhatsApp, Instagram and website chat, bookings with reminders and automations with 3 teammates, built on prophecius.in/build, before GST.
- Meta bills WhatsApp marketing messages directly. Ora adds no markup.
Your counsellors can then spend their time on applications and SOPs.
What Ora does not do
To be clear about the limits:
- It does not guarantee admissions or visas.
- It gives typical costs; your counsellor gives exact figures for each university.
- It only knows the file status you share with it.
