The pay-it-forward case

Someone, somewhere, opened a door for you.

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.

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.

MKSSS HNIMR, Pune (Mentee)

"I am really thankful to my mentor, Rakesh, and the Mentor To Go program for supporting me during such an important phase of my journey. His practical advice and real-life examples helped me move from confusion to clarity about my career path. With his guidance, I was able to build my confidence, improve my interview skills, and understand how to align my skills with industry needs. This support helped me make better decisions and approach opportunities with confidence, which finally led to my placement at Tata Motors."

"I am really thankful to my mentor for all the support in my personal and professional life. Lalita ma'am guided me on how to create a resume, apply for jobs, and prepare for interviews. She always encouraged me and supported me until I got my first job. Today, I have been working as a School Coordinator at Akshar Bharati Sewa International. This journey has helped me grow a lot."

BCA Student, Balmatta, Mangalore (Mentee)

"The Mentor to Go mentorship program has been a truly transformative experience. I began this journey seeking clarity on my career path, but gained much more — a stronger strategic mindset and the confidence to take on new challenges. My mentor provided invaluable guidance, creating a space that encouraged curiosity while also challenging my thinking. This experience has made me feel more connected and empowered in my professional journey. I look forward to paying it forward as a mentor in the future."

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.
