What is the first thing we usually compare when we shop around for education loans? Undoubtedly the interest rates. What if we tell you that we can get you the best deals on education loan interest rates by using the power of group buying. Confused? Let’s understand this in a simple way. When you book a travel package, you get a better deal if you are booking in a group. The bigger the group, the better the deal. That’s the power of group buying! 

Implying the same idea in the education loan sector, GyanDhan has introduced “GyanDhan Allied”. It leverages the power of collective bargaining and gets lenders to bid for your education loans, instead of the other way around.

Let’s understand in detail about the scheme…

What is GyanDhan Allied?

GyanDhan Allied is India’s first group-buying abroad education loan scheme. It leverages the group negotiation to get applicants the best deals on foreign education loans. It is an absolutely free scheme where students can nominate themselves and become a part of a group. Afterward, GyanDhan negotiates with the lender for the best deals for the entire group. Considering it as an opportunity to get the loan cases in bulk, lenders will give the best possible quotes for education loans. In this way, GyanDhan Allied will benefit students with the interest rates that they would not get if they negotiate alone.

How did the GyanDhan Allied come into existence?

In 2020, a few students approached GyanDhan in a group for their study abroad loans. GyanDhan negotiated for the interest rate with the lenders on students’ behalf. The experiment was successful as GyanDhan was able to get better interest rates using the bulk bargain. This germinated the idea of GyanDhan Allied. After researching and understanding the upsides and caveats, the loan scheme was devised keeping the best interest of students in mind. The first set of deals will be for Spring 2022 admits and aspirants. Nomination in the scheme is completely free of cost.
