About ShikshaLoan
ShikshaLoan helps Indian students and parents organise course costs, loan-readiness signals, documents, scholarships, and post-admission finance steps before deadlines become stressful.
The team focuses on the questions that usually slow a family down: how much the course may cost, which education-loan route may fit, what documents are needed, and how scholarships or post-admission services connect to the full funding plan.
Founders
Founder-led, finance-first, student-aware.

LinkedInHow we work
Practical clarity before financial pressure rises.
ShikshaLoan keeps the funding conversation grounded in costs, eligibility signals, documents, and what still depends on lender review.
What the team solves
Students and parents get one organised view of loan range, course cost, family contribution, scholarship gap, and document readiness.
How partners support
Principal partners help strengthen counselling, coordination, and follow-up so students do not have to manage the funding journey alone.
What stays with lenders
Final eligibility, loan sanction, interest rate, conditions, and disbursement decisions remain with the relevant lender.
Questions
Clear boundaries, no fuzzy promises.
Who is behind ShikshaLoan?
ShikshaLoan is led by founder Arjun Maheshwari and co-founder Ankit Asthana, with principal partners supporting student counselling, coordination, and education-funding execution.
Does ShikshaLoan sanction education loans?
No. ShikshaLoan helps students and families prepare the loan-readiness picture. Lenders remain responsible for eligibility checks, sanction terms, rates, and disbursement decisions.
How can a student contact the team?
Students can use the loan-eligibility form, the contact page, or the WhatsApp help shortcut on the site to share their course, cost, and admission-stage details.
Want to reach the team?
Share the student course, college, expected cost, and admission stage. The team can then respond with the right context instead of a generic call.
