Rajat
Shirur

Rajat co-founded UniLynk to give students access to the kind of honest, personalized guidance that is often difficult to find during college admissions. He believes students make stronger decisions when they can learn directly from mentors who understand both the application process and the reality of campus life.

Through UniLynk, Rajat helps make that support more accessible and affordable for families.
