“Amrit and Platform have made my U.S. recruitment process both simple and enjoyable. He does so much behind-the-scenes work that has allowed me to find a college that is a perfect fit for me. I am very excited to start my time in the U.S. and have Amrit to thank for helping it to be a seamless process and transition.” – Hannah Blake
