Anyone aware of a startup mentoring network in India. Not a traditional incubation type of setup, but a place where startups can identify mentors who might be able to guide on various issues. Maybe Venturewoods can take the lead here?

Hi, I was googling on mentors and happened to stumble upon venturewoods.I had heard of TiE earlier. I am also looking for mentoring for starting a business of my own. When I came across a long list of mentoring services or organisations in other countries, I wished India had few such organisations.
Thanks Manish, you have left a pretty good list of such facility.
Goodluck venture woods!
Hi Mary,
Mentoring is a very much unheard word till now. And very slowly the doors of the mentoring are opening up in india, that too mostly in Metro Cities. In the indian contest of mentoring, mentoring has been there from long time back. It dates bact to thousands of years. In generall life mentoring starts at home for indians. But the colonization of India by British has ruined the social transforation of the Skills, knowledge by pushing the people towards the english education system, which was never part of indian context. Please let me this is enough else, I am more than happy to contribute to your research/search.
Bye,

Hi Everyone,
Great to know that the concept of Mentoring has entered India. Well , Im writing a paper on mentoring in Indian and International context. What are the different types of mentoring occuring in the field of business in India? Could someone help me out? As you all are aware, no literature is available on Mentoring and I am really finding it difficult when it comes to Indian context.
Cheers guys.

We have started couple of initiatives here in Hyderabad for mentoring startups and entrepreneurs.
1. Bootstrappers Hyderabad
2. Coffee Club (TiE Hyderabad)
Barcamps have definitely as a common platform for entrepreneurs here.
Bootstrappers Hyderabad meets once a month and fellow members help each other in networking and other issues. We have a very diverse crowd also – Ex Snr. Wiproite (runs a HR firm), a strategist ( got solid links ), a sports lover – wind surfer ( wants to do someting in adventure tourism ) , runs an Indian operations of a MNC office , VP of a hardcore technology company, IPR guy.
July meeting will coincide with Barcamp Hyderabad 2. We are organizing a discussion here – What is the missing link – For Cyberabad to become a Startup Valley.
We are getting VC , Academia and Budding Enterpreneurs to discuss it out.
All are welcome
