Where you can connect with quality , relevant, legit mentors and ask career related queries. First call will be free and further calls will be paid. Do you think this kind of platform can work ? Will guidance seekers pay for career advice? I have my doubts .
Brilliant idea! But remember, even the tastiest samosa isn't free. Quality advice deserves a price. Now, how will you stand out in the crowd?
