Principal and Registered Migration Agent

Meet Ashwin Tyagi

Welcome to Immigration Hotspot! I am proud to be the Founder and Registered Migration Agent (MARN: 1575846) at Immigration Hotspot, a leading Australian full-service migration firm. I have over 16 years of experience spanning in the migration law industry, international recruitment and management roles in Australia.

Over the years, I have assisted hundreds of clients around the world by providing them with professional immigration advice. I am extremely privileged to have the opportunity to positively impact on each of my client’s lives, by assisting them and their families migrate to Australia for a better future.

My journey

With eyes full of hope, I arrived as a seventeen-year old in Australia as an international student in 1998. I studied Diploma in Hospitality Management at Blue Mountains Hotel School, Leura and then went on to complete my business degree, jointly conferred by Cornell University and RMIT.

In 2001, I (somehow) made it on the Dean’s list a few times and was selected to do my major at Cornell University, New York, USA. Then 9/11 happened, and my round-the-world trip didn’t. However, I then had the opportunity to complete my major in Marketing & International Finance at RMIT.

Post my graduation in 2002, I was offered a position and was sponsored by my employer in Sydney. By now, I had fallen in love with Australia and chose to call it home.

I then worked in various management roles in luxury hotels and in recruitment in Australia & Asia. My passion for people further lead me to the migration law industry. In 2013, realising the talent and skill shortage in Australia, I founded Hotspot People, a boutique recruitment firm. And after completing the graduate Migration Law program at Australian National University, Canberra and becoming a Registered Migration Agent MARN: 1575846, I founded Immigration Hotspot, a full-service migration firm based in Melbourne.

I live in Melbourne with my partner and our two little cheeky monkeys. In my own time I love to serve in helping spread Master Paramhansa Yogananda’s (Autobiography of a Yogi) teachings and spending time in nature gardening or playing the djembe.

Community

We may be small business but we are committed to giving back to our local communities. We are in the business of migration and human resources and know that our community, our ‘people’ matter most. We aim to build strong and enduring relationships within our community and are working with community organizations and programs to do our bit. We are currently partnering with not-for-profit organizations to make a small difference to our community.

Sustainability

We are strong believers in sustainability and in our community. Our efforts towards making Immigration Hotspot sustainable are being realized by being responsible in everything we do and never forgetting that even the smallest things can make a great difference – from consuming less paper, by printing both sides and by using multi-purpose products.

How do we do it?

We aim to create a sustainable marketing strategy by developing effective marketing campaigns, exploring eco-friendly possibilities and using responsible resources and practices for our marketing campaigns. We partner with offset printers who are environmentally-certified and carbon neutral in every aspect of their print process, which includes the use of 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and vegetable inks, which do not produce any toxic sludge.

At our office, we reduce waste, reuse and recycle materials as much as we can. We continuously try to reduce our energy consumption by using smart devices as much as possible. We are constantly looking at ways of improving our impact to the environment and community right down to our Fairtrade chai. We use recycled paper and we recycle every sheet to minimize paper waste. All our business proposals, reports and invoices are delivered online via email, and save as much soft copies of documents as possible to reduce the overall print burden of each client assignment.

You can do your bit too!

Sustainability is always on our minds and we strive to do better through ongoing research and education. To make a difference we act in a responsible way and partner with suppliers who aim to minimize their environmental impact through conscious effort. Do your bit by partnering with us for your next Australian migration requirement. That’s it. We will help you to automatically contribute to programs we support.

I would like to thank you and agency for making our dream come true. There are no of agents in the market but

I doubt anyone is as professional as you guys are.

Ashwin helped us throughout the process and sometimes had gone out of the way to make the process smooth for us. I highly recommend their services. Earlier when we applied through another agency ***, our application was denied in the first step. After that we found Ashwin who was very positive that we can get grant but were skeptical to believe as had earlier bad experience with previous agent. But we got visa now and it’s all because of our super talented agent. And can’t believe how easy the process seemed with him by our side. Ashwin really knows what he is doing and he does it with perfection. I could see the perfection in his work while filling our forms, any mistake we did in filling form80 he would come back to us ,which showed how minutely he was going through each and every detail. It’s total value for money infact more than that. Thank you soooo much Ashwin.
