Mentoring India's Youth

India’s future is it’s youth, yet millions of Indian youth are underprivileged and lack access to career guidance, resource information and opportunities. Arundhuti Gupta’s MentorTogether aims to change this. Her’s is a non-profit that screens, trains and connects able professionals with aspiring youth, to facilitate mentoring, a stronger support system, better exposure and more. Giving underprivileged Indian youth access to mentoring will help them climb the social ladder and decrease India’s poverty levels through inclusion.

 Arundhuti is an energetic young woman entrepreneur who’s own career choices and aspirations were strongly influenced by her mentor, Rajeev Gowda, a professor at IIM-Bangalore. For Arundhuti, MentorTogether – which aims to pair up thousands of Indian youth with mentors in the coming years – is a way of paying it forward.
