What mentors ask first.
How much time does it actually take?+
Start with as little as one 30-minute session a month. You scale up only if you want to.
Do I need to be from tech / AI?+
No. We need mentors across design, communication, climate, finance, social impact, entrepreneurship and education.
What support do I get?+
Briefs, rubrics, scheduling and a coordinator — so you only show up to do the mentoring.
Will I get a credential?+
Yes. A verifiable mentor and jury profile under ET DAKSHA by ET Education.
Be the mentor you wish you had.
One hour. One team. A trajectory that changes.
