Mentorpolis Goes Online!


A good friend of mine came up with this unique idea of connecting people and went on to start a new venture called Mentorpolis. A blog dedicated solely to applaud months of his hard work. His venture only reiterates that efforts do pay off....

Observation:

Most of the time, we are unable to get into good institutions both in India/abroad because of "Lack of Information" or "Guidance". Preparation for entrance exams of all levels can also turn directionless, if we don't know how to go about preparing for that particular exam. Mentorpolis is an effort in that direction to help plug that gap on an individual basis.

Suggestion:

Mentorpolis is an effort to establish a new communication channel that connects mentees who seek academic / professional advice, with accomplished and suitable mentors, via one-to-one interaction. It provides mentees with personal guidance and direct access to mentors, who can help them make informed decisions.

Mentees could be high school students, undergraduates, young professionals, whereas mentors are students and professionals who once were in the same situation, but have now made it big : and thus precisely understand problems faced by mentees and want to share their wisdom in a nurturing manner.

I am sure all aspiring students would greatly benefit from this venture, since this is not just an online portal where one can post their queries, but it also provides a great opportunity for aspiring students to connect to a mentor of one's choice on a one-to-one basis.

Yes, its a good idea. For that matter, I feel most of us have ideas at some point of time, but never work upon it. This guy did...and did it brilliantly.

I liked your approach in this blog .. presenting a problem and then proposing an end-to-end solution is how things should work .. great job!
