Millions applying, few being told the truth.
Delhi and the wider NCR produce more qualified applicants than almost anywhere. What is scarce is somebody who will say plainly which qualifications matter, which do not, and what a hiring manager is actually reading.

The things people ask first.
Do I have to live in Delhi to book?
No. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor is chosen for the job they do rather than the city they sit in.
Is it really free?
Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.
How soon can I get a session?
Sign up, tell us what you are stuck on, and pick a slot in IST once you are matched.
Can I be matched with someone in technology, software and data?
Yes. Technology, software and data is one of the areas Delhi mentees ask about most, and mentors in it volunteer across the network.
Will my mentor understand the Delhi job market?
Often, yes. Where the better match sits elsewhere, you still get someone who does the job you are aiming at, and the advice is set against what you are facing in Delhi.
Get unstuck from Delhi.
Thirty minutes with someone who has already done it. Free to you, wherever you are sitting.
