How to find a right mentor as an agency founder based in India?- Grapevine

I am a co-founder and director at a software consulting company in Mumbai. It is bootstrapped, cash flow positive with steadily growing revenue, team strength and clientele, and doing well for 5-6 years, since we started. I need to connect to entrepreneurs in tech who have been in the industry long enough to guide me and mentor me for strategic decisions, to take it to the next level. Where do I look, and how should I reach out to them?

The platform has made every intern a Leadership coach; charging ₹2999/- for each session. 

The platform should have at least some decency to verify who is trying to become a mentor.

Data Scientist

A platform for long term mentorship where users can connect with professionals to get guidance for getting into their desired organisations or universities. 
It would be a close-knit community where only 3-4 students can only join for a mentor at a particular time and A mentorship can last up to 6 months. 
For better understanding there are startups like Preplaced in India and mentor.cam in US

Startup idea review

Stuck at scaling phase of my startup. Need funds, looking to aquire through PMEGP. But banks keep asking for collateral, even though the plan implemented by the government says non collateral loans. Last financial year we have done a revenue of 35 Lakhs. 
If we can find funding I am sure I can scale it up really good. Tried other laons as well. We are a completely bootstrapped startup since the beginning. All and any help is much appreciated. Dedicated my life towards this business since 4 years. And we have all the required govt registrations.

Need a mentor for my career in software engineering. Any suggestions how to find one.

Technical Support

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience)

What is that one piece of advice you’d give your younger self or someone who’s starting off now after working for a few years. 

Mine would be that despite the hunger to prove yourself always take the time off to enjoy your success both personally and with people close to you. 

Time is something you’ll never get back.

What’s the most important career advice you’ve ever received? It could be anything, an advice from your colleague, a lesson you learnt the hard way, or a piece of wisdom that changed your perspective! 🌟🌟

1. Work hard in your job. Don't complain and waste time. We know everyone is replaceable, but work so damn hard that if at all you decide to resign and switch sometime, it should come as a shell shocker to them.  
 Build a program/product/team from scratch, own it end to end so much that they'll never find anyone close to you who can work with the same efficiency. 
 You'll obviously take your learnings and apply them later on in your next job, but 
 You'll also earn the respect of all your colleagues which might be needed in your future corporate journey. 
 2. Don't chase money early on in your career unless you actually**need** it. Focus on building relationships, knowledge, learning to code (it helps) and earning respect of your colleagues wherever you go. 
 3. Don't get into smoking due to peer pressure. AVOID IT.

Software Engineer

So I'm a Marketing & Growth Guy with 7 years of experience (Expertise - Performance Marketing) and currently working for Company abroad as a Growth Lead for one of their projects. I get 2.5 Lacs (In Hand) every month as a salary.

Now the problem is, they hired me last year April. And product isn't ready till now. Whenever it is about to be ready, there's a new pivot that comes across and I go completely free. I've done only 2-3 mini campaigns. 

Also, its WFH so I've plenty of free time. And I'm wasting it by sleeping in the afternoon. It's like I'm getting free salary without doing anything. Recently I've started actively swing trading in Stock Market and have got 2 small freelancing projects - Just to keep myself busy.

With this, I'm obviously not learning anything at work and also, there's a sense of insecurity that I'll be laid off anytime. 

What should I do? Leave it? Or continue my guilty pleasure? My age is 29 and I would want to move towards stability.

Kare toh Kare kya? Resign or Continue?
