When families think about planning for higher education, the first thought is usually money. “How much will it cost?” “Can we afford it?” “Should we look at options in India or abroad?” These are valid questions.

When Should You Begin? Many parents struggle with questions like: “When is the right time to start planning for my child’s education future?” or “How can I ensure my child explores different paths?” or even “Have I started too late?” While these concerns are valid, equally important is understanding what actions to take once you do begin […]
