Cygnus International Pty Ltd : choosing to study abroad is one of the biggest decisions a family can make

It brings excitement and hope, but also many questions, doubts, and fears. Parents worry about safety, costs, and whether their child is making the right choice. Students worry about fitting in, coping academically, and being far from home. According to Nandina Kannayya, CEO of Cygnus International Pty Ltd, these concerns are completely normal. “When the stakes are high,” she says, “families don’t need more confusing information. They need clarity, honesty, and reassurance”.

Ms Kannayya believes that education decisions are not based on facts alone. Emotions play a big role. Parents want security and certainty for their children, while students look for opportunity and personal growth. When information is unclear or overwhelming, confidence disappears. Cygnus International was created to help families bridge this gap by explaining options simply and guiding them step by step.

Having lived in Australia, Ms Kannayya has seen first-hand how cultural differences and unfamiliar education systems can affect students. Many struggle not because they lack ability, but because they were not properly guided at the start. This experience shaped her approach: guidance must be personal, honest, and adapted to each student’s situation.

she explains : “Every student is different. Some need academic support, others need help with English, and many just need time to adjust ”. Rather than pushing one fixed pathway, Cygnus International focuses on helping families understand their choices and select what suits their child’s long-term goals academically, emotionally, and financially.

This same philosophy is behind Cygnus International’s upcoming education event in Mauritius, organised in collaboration with Le Defi Media Group, StudyPerth and six Australian education institutions namely AIWT, Apeiro Institute, APS Institute, Contempo College, Sheridan Institute of Higher Education and The Bright College. The goal is simple: to bring reliable, trustworthy information directly to Mauritian families.

Instead of relying on online searches or second-hand advice, parents and students will be able to speak directly with education providers, ask real questions, and receive clear answers all in one place. The event is designed to remove confusion and help families make informed decisions with confidence.

“By bringing respected institutions to Mauritius, we are creating a safe and transparent space for parents and students,” Ms Kannayya says. “This is about understanding, not pressure ”.

For many families, studying abroad can feel overwhelming. This event aims to change that, turning uncertainty into understanding, and hesitation into confidence. Because when families feel supported and well-informed, education becomes not a risk, but a well-guided journey toward a better future.
