We're on a mission to democratize access to world-class mentorship, connecting ambitious professionals with industry leaders who can transform their careers.
UpMentorX was born from a simple observation: the most successful professionals didn't get there alone. They had mentors, guides, and supporters who helped them navigate critical career decisions.
Yet for millions of ambitious professionals worldwide, access to quality mentorship remained limited by geography, networks, and opportunity. We set out to change that.
Today, we're proud to have built a global platform where expertise knows no boundaries. Whether you're a software engineer in Mumbai, a product manager in Lagos, or a designer in São Paulo, you can connect with world-class mentors from Google, Meta, Amazon, and leading startups.

Co-Founder and Director
For over 25 years, I built and led teams, hired thousands of professionals, and ran my own HR consultancy. But when I stepped into founding, I faced a painful truth—even experts struggle to find a mentor who genuinely helps. I lost time, confidence, and money on mentors who underdelivered or misrepresented themselves.
I realized: the problem isn't talent — it's matchmaking and accountability. People need mentors who are vetted, accessible, and outcome-driven. That insight led me to create UpMentorX — a marketplace where those seeking guidance can find mentors they trust, and where mentors can serve meaningfully with transparency and fairness.
Co-Founder & Director
With over 16 years of experience as a music educator and mentor, Shantanu has dedicated his life to helping individuals discover and refine their creative voice. Having taught thousands of students across age groups and backgrounds, he has seen how consistent guidance can transform raw potential into mastery.
His belief is simple — mentorship changes lives. Whether it's art, business, or technology, the principles of growth are universal: patience, feedback, and the right teacher at the right time. Through UpMentorX, Shantanu brings that philosophy to a global stage — helping people across industries find mentors who inspire progress and accelerate learning.
"Every successful person has had mentors who guided them. UpMentorX exists because we believe that access to great mentorship shouldn't depend on your network or location—it should be a right, not a privilege."
— Taru & Shantanu, Founders of UpMentorX
