You are thinking about setting up a new business or need some advice with your venture. Congratulations!


We understand that at times, figuring out what to do next can be a bit perplexing and we are here to help. Depending on whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur (thinking about becoming an entrepreneur), or an existing entrepreneur who is either trying to change his/her line of business, or want some questions answered - around hiring, scaling up, funding, marketing or the general ecosystem - you are in the right place.


MAKING AN APPOINTMENT

Sessions work by appointment only. A date and time that work for you and Vijay would be mutually agreed upon - by a follow up email post the payment. In the event that no suitable time can be found, or the scope of engagement is beyond the mentors expertise, the payment will be refunded.


You will have up to one hour of 1-to-1 interaction, via phone or video call, to discuss your scenario and get feedback, at a time that is of mutual convenience to both sides.


To make the best use of your time, We would strongly recommend that you do some background work on what we do, and the answered queries on Quora. We remain fairly active on quora and Linkedin and will answer public questions that are relevant quite frequently.


Topics and conversations discussed during the consultation, remain confidential.


CANCELLATION

In case of emergencies, you can cancel your appointment, up to 24 hours before the confirmed timing - or can ask for it to be rescheduled - we understand that at times, things happen beyond our control. In case of a no-show, the fee is non-refundable.


INTENT

The Intent of charging for office hours is to state that time is valuable and knowledge is not free. We come across quite a few entrepreneurs who ask for time (We've been doing this for more than 15 years now) and either come dramatically ill-prepared or don't show up at all, that we find ourselves having to do this. The Intent of this is not to sell our time, but to ensure that you value yours and ours.


NEXT STEPS

Once you make the payment, you will be hearing from our team who will coordinate with you on a time that works mutually for both. Look forward to connecting!


NOTE :

  • This service is intended for those in the Indian Subcontinent and nearby time zones only. While we appreciate the interest from elsewhere, startups are greatly influenced by the environment that they are planted in, and our understanding of other ecosystems is limited to give you any informed advice. Also coordinating with those in other time zones has been causing inconveniences, so apologies in advance.
