Sanjiv Bhavnani, Mentorpreneur Advisors is an organization that leverages Indian entrepreneurial talent and businesses that focus Indian consumers and is a novel concept that amply demonstrates the visionary abilities of its founder and Chief Mentor at identifying a need and attempting to fulfill it. Mentorpreneur brings together experienced professionals with diverse expertise to mentor young and
growing ventures to find their rightful place in global business, often by taking on significant accountability for inherent risks and the outcome of such ventures. Though Mentorpreneur does provide its services at a charge to medium & large businesses, however, it is comfortable buying into equity of start-up and small and mid-sized ventures wherein it believes successful businesses ideas could be nurtured. As such it brings early stage ventures the advantage of its collective expertise, knowledge, funding and networking, in order to position such ventures into businesses that attract more talent, funds and markets, thereby creating long term value for both entities. Mentorpreneur Advisors has in place an Advisory Board that comprises experienced, well-known technocrats and entrepreneurs from a cross section of the industries it strives to serve and is divided into several specialised industry practice groups:
In a move that is dramatically different from most advisory firms, Mentorpreneur Advisors encourages industry experts and professionals to not only enroll themselves for consulting assignments, but, also allows them to work in the manner they deem convenient at hourly rates set by themselves. Advisors determine their own hourly consulting rates based on their qualifications, experience and expertise in their field. They have the opportunity to earn additional income by participating in projects, consulting assignments, surveys and by speaking at seminars, mentoring sessions, group meetings etc. Mentorpreneur ensures that confidentiality and compliance are not compromised on, by virtue of its policies and procedures being developed through years of experience, consultation with independent legal counsel and benchmarking against industry best-practices.
