- The MAARG Portal by Startup India is a one-stop mentorship platform to facilitate mentorship for startups across diverse sectors, functions, stages, geographies, and backgrounds. Startups can connect with academicians, industry experts, successful founders, seasoned investors, and others to get personalized advice on growth strategy, seek clarity, and get practical advice.
- How does the platform work?
- Each user can register on the platform as a Mentor or Startup. After publishing of the profile, the platform will matchmake mentors and Startups using artificial intelligence based on sector, stage, and functional skillset. Either party can send a connection request to a desired mentor/Startup and once the request is accepted, the mentorship can be started. Each mentorship connection will be tracked for evaluating progress and feedback. Following the sessions, the mentors and Startups will be prompted to update the session details in their respective dashboards namely duration of session, specific topic etc. In case the sessions are not updated, the users will not be able to proceed further for scheduling the next session. Note: The mentorship session videos and chats may be recorded for quality purposes.
