Our story
Meet the founders
Dirghayu Kaushik
Co-Founder & CEO
Vikrant Shivalik
Co-Founder & COO
Dirghayu and Vikrant have been best friends from IIT BHU for more than 8 years. Vikrant prepared for top grad programs through research at Cardiff University and ANU, later earning admits from UC Berkeley and Imperial College London. Dirghayu built early operating experience by founding and leading the E-Cell IIT BHU and joining Truckbook at inception, where he helped build and scale the platform to 500k+ truckers.
In 2022, while both were planning their own applications to the US and the UK, Dirghayu identified a structural inefficiency in the admissions ecosystem. Students continued to rely on commission-driven intermediaries, and the lack of transparent, data-backed guidance often resulted in poor decisions.
Recognizing that the right product could shift decision-making power back to the student, Dirghayu got Vikrant to drop his offer from Imperial College London to build Ambitio, a data-driven copilot for higher education abroad. Ambitio aims to make access to world-class universities depend on merit and information, not gatekeepers.
Our values
Our values define how we operate
They shape how we hire, how we give feedback and how we decide what to build next.
Move With Highest Urgency
Ask yourself: “What are your 10-year goals?” and “Why can't you achieve them in the next 6 months?” We like to run fast with the right judgement, and that's what startups are all about!
Take Ownership
We hire brilliant people to solve the most important problems and then let them put their best judgement to work. Great work never happens with micromanagement.
Only “A” Players
Something magical happens when you work with the smartest and most driven people. Hard problems feel fun, long hours turn fulfilling, and work doesn't feel like ‘work’ anymore.
High Agency Mindset
The person on the right has higher agency than the one on the left. The folks on the right side always win, and we are building a company full of winners.
Never Compromise On Integrity
You will be working on problems that will impact the next few decades of millions of young folks. Being intellectually honest and having the moral high ground is cardinal.
Culture
Life at Ambitio
Workplace should not feel like a drag. We strive to make Ambitio the most fun and challenging place to be.
A team sport
Work with people who push your best thinking, hype your wins, and make every day feel like a team sport.
Memories & impact
Turf nights, festival fits, office pranks, birthday chaos. We create memories while we create impact.
Bold ideas welcome
Your quirks, ideas, and weird creative experiments are welcome. The bolder, the better.
Growth that's real
Mondays feel exciting because the mission is personal and the growth is real. No “just another job” energy.
