Master Mentors will be using the funds to add more immersive master and mentors for opening up an extensive platform of learning to revolutionize the skill-based education system of India by providing the Indian masses with a variety of courses based upon all kinds of art-forms and other subjects that are considered to be unconventional or are seen under a niche spectrum.
Master Mentors was founded by Suraj Juneja (Co-Founder and CEO), Vijay Rachh (Co-founder and CFO), and Aaquib Hussain (Co-Founder and COO) on 1st October 2019 with an intention to reach their goal by not only providing the online courses to their respective students but by also yielding a digital space to the mentors who are defining their fields with their skills but need a digital platform to share their expertise.
The idea for The Master Mentors came as a response to the fact that there was too much going on outside our little space. Master Mentors was founded on the premise of knowledge sharing, free expression and for telling stories that are typically unheard or lost and to give a voice and platform to those who are great at what they do and want to share their knowledge. Over the years, they intend to also become a platform that gives a voice to the censored, ostracized, and forgotten tribal communities, thus giving a home to artists who would not otherwise be known. There are also millions of people who are bringing changes to society and need a voice to be heard. The inclusiveness of these voices is what defines Master Mentors" said Suraj Juneja, (Co-founder and CEO) of Master Mentors.
