A group of recent graduates from IIT Delhi have launched MentorPolis.com, an online platform that aims to connect mentees, who seek academic and professional advice, with mentors through telephonic consultations and web seminars.

MentorPolis.com claims to have currently more than 50 mentors who come from distinguished colleges from India and abroad such as IIT, IIM, Harvard Business School, Stanford university and other top colleges of US and Europe. These mentors offer advice on verticals like engineering in India and abroad, MBA in India and abroad, entrepreneurship and job preparation.

“We had two strong reasons of focusing our effort in education and professional vertical. Firstly, we realized that there is a dearth of competent advice and guidance for most Indian students and professionals. And secondly, good mentors not only help people in identifying most suitable places but guide them in reaching those places as well. Here is where we saw the opportunity,” Avijit Sharma, co-founder and CEO, MentorPolis.com told AlooTechie.

According to Avijit Sharma, MentorPolis.com does not charge mentees for creating an account and for using knowledge resources such as Q&A, web-links and video-casts. “The web seminars taken up by our mentor panel are also free for all the registered users. However, we charge mentees for any personal consultation they request with any of our mentor. A part of the fees is retained by MentorPolis,” Sharma informed.

Launched in April 2009, MentorPolis.com has so far attracted over 500 registered mentees who are primarily high school students, undergraduates and young professionals. According to Avijit Sharma, most of the users are coming from the Tier-I and II cities. “As an interesting trend, there have been quite a few people from abroad who have shown interest in the services and have registered as mentees,” Sharma added.
