The start of Mentor Together is a story that reaffirms the power of mentorship. As a soon-to-be college graduate, Arundhuti Gupta had several ideas about how she could make a difference in her city, but needed an initial push and a safe space to explore her abilities.



Mentorship she accessed fortuitously helped her get started and discover how empowering it felt to work with young people and help them discover their potential. She was at the start of a career in Finance but chose instead to pay forward the mentorship she had received. She became a social entrepreneur to setup a mentoring movement for India, and Mentor Together was born in November 2009. 



Arundhuti is a globally recognised social entrepreneur — an Ashoka Fellow, a Brookings Echidna Global Scholar, a Salzburg Global Seminar Fellow, amongst many other honours.
