The things people ask first.
Will my mentor be based in India?
Sometimes. Matching is cross-border, and many mentees specifically want a mentor working abroad.
What can realistically happen in 30 minutes?
One problem, answered honestly, with clear next steps written down. That is usually more than a month of searching gives you.
Is there a fee?
No. Mentees never pay.
