Who Are We

We support high school students and their counselors throughout the early career exploration and college search and selection process. With our cutting-edge technology, we help students and everyone who supports them – their counselors, parents, and university recruiters - think differently about their options in an increasingly cluttered and confusing space, so they can take the best next steps towards realizing their ideal future.

Our Mission

To create a world where every student, regardless of their ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic status, and learning preference, gets equal access to higher education through our world-class network of portfolio brands; a network that globally connects community stakeholders that provide the finest resources and support material, anywhere in the world and at any time.

Our Journey So Far

Cialfo’s story began long before its official launch in 2017—with a student searching for answers. Our CEO and Co-founder, Rohan Pasari, experienced the same confusion and uncertainty that many students face when choosing the right college. The endless questions, lack of guidance, and complexity of the process left a lasting impression.

What started as a personal challenge soon became a shared vision. Along with Stanley Chia and William Hund, Rohan founded Cialfo—a platform built to simplify college and career exploration, making the journey clearer and more accessible for students everywhere.
