Be the catalyst
someone needs.

For ₹8,250, you can give a young person from a background of socio-economic disadvantage a full year of personalised mentoring — and the network, clarity, and confidence to walk into their first job.

The pay-it-forward case

Someone, somewhere, opened a door for you.

Think about the moment your career actually shifted. It probably wasn't a textbook or a test score — it was a person who showed you that a door existed, and that you were allowed to walk through it. Most young Indians never meet that person. Eight million enter the labour market every year, and most navigate the transition without a trusted adult outside their immediate family who can help them choose, prepare, and persist.

Pay it forward. ₹8,250 puts a vetted, trained mentor in the corner of one pre-final or final-year student for an entire academic year — the same kind of person who once opened a door for you.

What ₹8,250 unlocks

A full year of structured mentoring — built for the year the student is in.

Mentor To Go runs in two streams, sized to the moment in a student's life. Foundation for pre-final year students who need clarity, confidence and a plan; Placement for final-year students about to step into their first job. Every mentee gets at least 5 touch-points per theme — real conversations, not chatbot pings.
