Who's behind ESC

Founded by researchers, for researchers

Dr. Deepak Kumar Malik, Founder of Emerging Scholars Council
Dr. Deepak Kumar Malik

Connect on LinkedIn

ESC began in 2024 over a Christmas dinner in Munich — a group of friends talking about how hard it still was for talented science students to land funded PhDs and Masters abroad. Our founder, Dr. Deepak Kumar Malik, was a DAAD Young Ambassador at the time, informally helping students navigate admissions. That conversation turned into a simple decision: this deserved to be something more formal. Today he is also the elected President of DAAD IndiAlumni Netzwerk e.V., the association of DAAD alumni linking India and Germany.

Every mentor has made this journey themselves — PhDs, postdocs, researchers and professionals — matched to your field. We don't outsource. We don't do copy-paste letters. We don't use AI. We guide you the way a senior colleague would: honestly, scientifically, and until you succeed.

Why you can trust us with this

Registered, accountable, and honest about the limits

A registered business

Emerging Scholars Council is registered with the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India — Udyam Registration UDYAM-HR-08-0060567. Not an individual trading under a brand name.

Mentors who have done it themselves

Founded by Dr. Deepak Malik — PhD in Biochemistry from LMU Munich, previously IIT Bombay and the University of Delhi. Every mentor has made this journey themselves.

You pay after we talk, not before

Nothing is payable until you have had a free discovery call and decided. Payment is in your own currency, and can be split into two instalments — most of it only once you hold an offer letter.

We do not guarantee admission

Nobody honestly can, and anyone who does is selling you something else. We maximise your chances and tell you plainly where you stand. Once mentorship begins, fees are non-refundable — mentor time is invested from the first session.

Your data stays yours

Collected only with your consent, used only for mentorship, and never sold. We follow Indian data protection law and align with GDPR for our EU and UK students.

We are not the employer

The positions on our board are advertised by universities. Your application goes to them, and the official link is on every position page. We help you prepare it — we have no influence over their decision.
