London, UK — In a rapidly changing job market, international students face some of the toughest challenges in building a career abroad. A UK-based startup founded by Indian entrepreneurs is stepping up to bridge that gap. Qbay Career Ltd, launched in 2021, has already supported more than 50,000 international students across the UK, Ireland, Germany, and Canada — making a measurable impact on career outcomes and employability.
Addressing a Critical Problem
According to recent reports, nearly 47.6% of international students struggle to secure interviews after completing their studies. Many of them remain stuck in their careers due to a lack of proper guidance, resources, and mentorship. Recognizing this gap, Qbay Career was built on a simple but powerful promise: to provide end-to-end career solutions and guarantee interview calls within 90 days for students in the UK, Germany, and Ireland.
Qbay’s approach goes beyond traditional consultancy. It blends career strategy, personalized mentorship, research-driven preparation, and interview readiness — giving international students not just hope, but a clear roadmap to success.
A Recognized Force in Education and Career Development
Since its inception, Qbay Career has become part of the Irish and UK educational and career forums, a rare achievement for an Indian-founded startup. Among international student communities, Qbay stands out as the only Indian-led company officially recognized in these forums. This recognition reflects both the scale of its impact and the authenticity of its services.
The company provides comprehensive career guidance, offering every student an individually tailored strategy to land interviews. This includes professional mentorship, research-based job application materials, mock interview training, and detailed career roadmaps.
Strong Global Research and Training Backbone
One of Qbay’s biggest differentiators is its world-class research team. Drawing talent from leading institutions such as Boston University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Cambridge, the team develops job application resources, interview materials, and market insights. This ensures that Qbay’s students receive guidance aligned with global standards and the latest market requirements.
Affordable and Accessible Career Services
International students often face financial pressure in addition to career challenges. Qbay has committed to keeping its services affordable and accessible, especially for Indian students in the UK and Ireland. By combining affordability with quality, Qbay has carved a unique position in a crowded market of overseas consultancy services.
Founders with Proven Expertise
Qbay Career is the brainchild of Fazil Karatt, an ex-OYO leader recognized among the top 1% startup talent in Sweden and the UK, and Dr. Mohammad Shafeeq Karatt, a UK government professional with years of expertise in education and careers.
Together, they bring both entrepreneurial excellence and academic credibility. Their personal career experiences and market insights directly inspired the founding of Qbay — aiming to solve the exact challenges they once observed among students and professionals navigating global job markets.
Real-World Experience Through Internships and Partnerships
Beyond mentorship and guidance, Qbay also ensures students gain practical market exposure. The startup provides unpaid internships in partnership with Mentika Business Outsourcing, UK, enabling students to work on real business projects. This hands-on experience helps them understand employer expectations and gain an edge in interviews.
In addition, Qbay is in the process of launching scholarship programs for international students, further reducing barriers to career opportunities and offering equal access to professional support.
A Growing Global Impact
In just four years, Qbay Career has gone from an idea to a recognized international brand that is transforming career paths for thousands of students. By guaranteeing interview opportunities, offering mentorship backed by research, and providing affordable solutions, Qbay is helping international students unlock their potential in some of the world’s most competitive markets.
With its founders’ vision, global partnerships, and a commitment to authenticity, Qbay is not just another startup — it is shaping the future of international student careers.
