BorderPlus Commits ₹10 Crore in Scholarships Over the Next 2 Years

MUMBAI/KOCHI:
This International Nurses Day, BorderPlus, a leading workforce mobility platform, reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the nation’s healthcare champions. Recognizing the importance of nurses and the world’s urgent need for their expertise and skills, BorderPlus today announced a significant investment in their future, committing INR 10 crore in scholarships over the next 2 years. The initiative will support deserving and aspiring nurses, enabling them to build successful international careers.

Marking a key milestone in this mission, BorderPlus also unveiled its first regional Training & Support Center in Kochi, a hub aimed at nurturing nursing talent from the southern region through personalized guidance and resources. The center currently supports over 120 candidates, with plans to expand this capacity to more than 500. It offers in-person exam preparation, personalized counseling, and comprehensive documentation support. Through this center, BorderPlus will also provide digital offerings, directly supporting nurses across Kerala and neighbouring regions. The Kochi center will be operated by a trusted local franchisee partner and enrollments have already started.

Mayank Kumar and Ayush Mathur, Co-founders of BorderPlus said, “The global healthcare sector faces a significant nursing shortage, presenting a unique opportunity for India’s vast pool of skilled and dedicated nurses. At BorderPlus, our mission is to empower these professionals by providing structured, ethical, and transparent pathways to international careers. This scholarship initiative is a powerful testament to our commitment to supporting Indian nurses in realizing their global aspirations, ensuring they are equipped to make meaningful and valued contributions to healthcare systems worldwide.”

Despite India’s rich nursing talent, candidates exploring global career pathways often face hurdles such as end-mile skilling gap, prohibitive exam costs, complex documentation requirements, and a lack of reliable guidance. The scholarship, open to Indian nurses, aims to address these fundamental barriers by offering crucial financial support and structured guidance enabling Indian nurses to pursue overseas careers with greater confidence and clarity. Empowering Indian nurses to pursue global careers not only enhances their professional growth but also contributes to India’s remittance economy, as they continue to support their families back home.

Candidates will be carefully selected based on their merit, clear intent, and long-term career alignment. Each applicant will undergo a thorough screening and interview process, ensuring that the support reaches those with both strong potential and a well-defined vision for their global journey.
