03 · Why French?

Forty countries. One language.

French is the working language of the UN, the EU, and the African Union. It opens hospitality in Geneva, engineering in Toulouse, luxury in Paris, and permanent residency in Québec. The barrier isn't borders — it's the language. We get you across.

Where French-fluent graduates work

  • Diplomacy & International Relations

    UN, EU, OECD, UNESCO — French is one of the working languages of nearly every major multilateral institution.

  • Luxury, Fashion & Hospitality

    LVMH, Hermès, Chanel, Accor, Sodexo — French houses recruit Indian talent for global rotations.

  • Aerospace & Engineering

    Airbus, Safran, Dassault, Thales — Toulouse and Paris hubs hire engineers with B2 French.

  • Quebec & Canadian PR

    B2 French boosts Express Entry scores by up to 50 CRS points — a fast lane to Canadian permanent residency.

  • Francophone Africa

    21 African nations operate primarily in French — banking, telecom, and development roles across the continent.

  • Academia & Research

    CNRS, INSEAD, Sciences Po, ENS — French institutions fund Indian researchers across the humanities and sciences.
