Where would you find the business mentors?

So it is clear that if you are thinking to hire a mentor who has knowledge in mentoring Indian startups then you should look whether he could give you enough time and whether he has the practical knowledge that you need for the success of your company. Now the question comes about the place where you would get these mentors.

There are many places where you can get hold of these mentors who are exceptional in their practical knowledge and are willing to help you too. Some of these places are:

1) Social sites: The sites such as Hacker News, GitHub, HackerRank, Stack Overflow and Hackerstreet.in. These are the best places for getting the mentors. Also you can search for mentors in various events that take place offline such as the Yahoo Hack Day, Startup Weekend and various such other events. However, as the head of a technology company you should not go and look for technology mentors at any startup event or in any generic industry. You would not get good technology business mentors there.  

2) The product companies: The product companies are also good places to get the mentors and Interim Managers. You can look at the profiles of the high executives in companies like Cleartrip or Flipkart and even Google and Yahoo and you would get the good senior members that you require for your startup.

3) Technical networking: This works in the way that if you are trying to solve any complex problem and seek help then you can reach out to your previous colleagues or people whom you have known for getting you the best help. They would definitely come up with the name of the experts whom you can contact for solving your problems.

Business mentors can be widely found in the LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/muralicherat search in the search column so you can find them try to shortlist them what kind of subject matter experts they are.
