The biggest advantage India has is a huge population of young, talented and hard working people across the country willing to deliver results in their work. This is the future of India, and will drive India's economy for decades. What the young definitely need however is excellent guidance to improve their practical knowledge and work experience and develop a business dimension to their ideas.
Seminars/ Training Courses are good, but are expensive, time consuming and do not focus on solving your specific/personal problems and queries in detail. A 1 to 1 MENTORING platform like this does that at a low price and utilising experts with practical knowledge.

General guidelines for Mentors and Mentees from The Engineers Forum- Mentoring Initiative ( TEF-MI )
1. This is only a networking and connection forum with responsibility of TEF-MI limited to connecting Mentor & Mentee for mutual benefit/ deciding the next level of association.
2. The first session with a potential Mentee of 15 minutes is 'free of cost', where one can check out if the mentee can benefit from the mentor. . Proceed to a proper paid mentoring session on topics that you excel in, only if there is a proper need for mentoring/ tutoring established. The first session could be on a telephone call only. Subsequent sessions have to be on Video conferencing. ( Google Meet / Zoom etc )
3. Keeping our costs low, we are trying to enable volume and also giving back to society. Treat this initiative as a 'Personal' Social Responsibility (PSR)
4. Retired persons and experienced persons are very much welcome to contribute with their knowledge & experience.
5. All responsibilities for coaching/ mentoring/ quality, delivery and engagement, including payment for services offered are purely issues between the Mentor & Mentee. TEF-MI is not responsible for any of these issues.
6. Expect one to multiple mentoring requests from the same candidate. Most people will consult you initially for basic guidance and advise. We recommend a maximum fee of Rs 1500/- per 30 min of mentoring. TEF does not receive/ asks for any payment.
7. If you are giving/ parting with a high level knowledge to sustain a business etc, you can deal with that on a personal consultancy basis at market rates outside this forum. This forum could be your opening to bigger consultancy work in time to come. TEF-MI has no stake in your decisions/ income. As far as personal mentoring through TEF-MI is concerned, one needs to connect through the platform.
8. Guidance has to be crisp/ to the point and practical. It should be focussed on career/ work/ job / technology/ engineering issues/ techno-commercial issues. Mentor should not disclose trade secrets/ information pertaining to his/ his company clients, but is free to educate about /sell/ market his products/ services. Expect a Question Answer method of interaction where Mentee will clarify many of his doubts about the subject/ issues, yet mentors have to be prepared with basic PPTs if possible in their specialties.
9. Mentor -Mentees are requested to adhere to agreed meeting timings. One can use any mode of communication/ video conferencing.
10. Payments from mentees to mentors can be in multiple ways- UPI-GPay/ Bank Transfer etc. Each session needs to be paid in advance. Payment is to be made/ accepted session wise only, ( 30 min minimum per session ) and in advance and not exceeding Rs 1500/-. and has to be directly between mentors and mentee with no involvement of TEF-MI.
11. Please treat this initiative as a personal social responsibility (PSR) / grooming portal for India's young and future engineers. If any Mentor desires to waive fees/ guide for free, it is welcome. Many mentors are willing to offer basic guidance free of cost, but that is a personal decision.
12. TEF-MI allows mentees to have free access to mentor details. However those Mentees becoming registered participants have a number of benefits in terms of a future job board/ internship opportunities /mailers/ technical information..
13. Mentees should be patient enough especially with Video Conferencing issues with Mentors. The setting up of a meeting on VC should be done by the mentee.
14. Mentees should appreciate that they are dealing with highly experienced senior people/ experts in their field who are willing to share their knowledge and respect is warranted to them.
If you are above 40, and have specialised experience in 1 to 3 different areas ( of minimum 10-15 years ), connected with construction, engineering, design, building materials, general A/E/C domain and connected HR work, we welcome you to be of great service to the nation.
