How can I get a mentor for my startup for which my roadmap is ready, website ready and it is near launching stage but still I feel need to get a mentor so that we can grow our startup as per plan. Not just looking for investor but a mentor who can guide through the journey to be successful. Although my start up plan is not unique and there is competitors in the sector with huge growth potential. Please guide how we can select or approach mentor?

Ans: Find people in the domain you are wanting to do business in.. people with rich experience of either the domain or business start ups, would be good mentors. Remember that a mentor will select you and not otherwise, so approach potential mentors with respect and humility.

Dear Sir,I am young and new at the workplace.I have read that mentorship is important for your career.How does one go about finding the right mentor?How does one approach them?Also, if you are approaching a mentor of the opposite sex, how does one ensure that one is not giving the wrong signal?Thank you.Isha

Most good organisations have a formal system of mentorship.

But you don't have to wait to be assigned a mentor. You can approach anyone in the organisation or outside who you consider a role model.

Gender is not a consideration at all as long as your intentions are clear.

All interactions between a mentor and mentee must be open and formal and within the professional sphere.

Approach a mentor formally and keep the interactions documented.

Hi Baqar, Vipin this side. I have decade of experience (customer support) interested to start up..but not knowing how to..have 10k+ linkedin followers that includes ceos of different startups in India...The problem is not having a clear cut plan in execution and here I'am seeking mentorship

Ans: Entrepreneurship is flying the plane as you are making it.. you will never have 100% clarity or resources. Start small and then grow. Customer support management is a good business opportunity. You can start with that, if you have experience in this area.

Hi Mr. Baqar Iftikhar Naqvi, I have an excellent business idea which can change the world. I need a strong investor for execution of this business model. Can you please help me to get an investor or multiple investors (not meant for crowd funding) to start this business. The business model is meant to capture the global market and needs the investor with more than 500 cr. INR capacity. Thanks and regards Indranil Bhattacharya

Ans: Unfortunately, at the stage you are in, no external person can help you. Investors bet on entrepreneurs and want to hear directly from them, at the idea stage. They want to understand your clarity of though, execution capabilities etc.

You will have to directly pitch to the investors.

Sir I think I will get 400+ in NEET 2025 but I don't think I will be securing any seats in govt med college(WB). I am ready admitted in Vit vellore under biotech under Cat 2. If I get management quota in KPC whould I take it? The fees is almost the same as Vit. But if I were to pursue Biotech what could be the roadmap of my career. Can I later pursue masters/phd/job abroad?

Ans: HI
1. Yes. KPC is better. Because KPC is bio-based institution.
2. Yes. You can pursue many courses in abroad (relevant or irrelevant). But before pursing the higher education, you have to plan....
3. Job - Getting a job depends on your skill set. After completing a PG or PhD, it can be a bit difficult to find a job abroad. If you are pursuing a PhD abroad, however, it may be possible, depending on the country.
