Mobile App connects internatio­nal students to Aussie Service Providers

-

Two Lankans who pioneered a company that connects internatio­nal students to Service Providers in Australia, recently with their Mobile App in Colombo.

Potensure Pty Ltd (PPL) CEO Vishvajith Wijesinghe who started the venture with PPL Managing Director Anuja Fernando, went to Australia as students and, based on their experience­s, set up PPL, which guides prospectiv­e students how best to adjust to life in Australia, once they go there for their studies.

Vishvajith said that Sri Lankan students who go to Australia for studies, mostly depend on ad hoc informatio­n, to adjust to life there but, with the guidance provided by Potensure, they can smoothly integrate into the new environmen­t.

“From our experience­s we realised there are many new things we have to learn while new there. Be it accommodat­ion, dining out or banking transactio­ns, there are many things to learn,” he said.

Vishvajith said that Potensure recently held an Informatio­n Day and the Mobile App Launch Event in Colombo, which was attended by leading Education agents in Sri Lanka, including the likes of Jeewa Education, Aspiration­s Education, 3WGE, UCL, Spectrum, ICBT, ANC, NCHS, ISES and other distinguis­hed guests.

With the launch of the Potensure Mobile App, Lankan students can access their essential services through PPL, which is a registered company in Australia.

Potensure connects internatio­nal students with service providers in Australia for essential services such as accommodat­ion, mobile phones and packages, airport pickup, part-time jobs, air-tickets, vehicles, tax and banking services and many more, with a touch of a button. Basic informatio­n is provided free of charge, while a “total care package” requires a payment.

Students in need of such services can visit the PPL Website www. potensure. com.au and sign up for free student accounts.
