This system works on the “guru-shikshya parampara” – the traditional Gurukul system of teaching that India was famous for. Mentors are those learned, qualified architects who also have the express capability to facilitate the learning process of the students coming to this site.

We welcome architects who love teaching and mentoring; to become a mentor at our website. We can mutually decide on a percentage of the revenues that we make from the guided students as remuneration to the participating mentor. The percentage would vary from 5% to 15% depending on experience of the mentor.

The method by which we would the revenues would be calculated for determining the payout is explained here.

Work description
This entire system works online only. All mentors may meet once a while in some physical location once a while. Mentors are to be fully familiar with all the systems that we have setup on this website. Mentors are encouraged to make their own videos – and we will give a facility to upload the videos to the system that we have on our website. All the mentoring would be done via the system that we have setup. Any mentoring that does not get done via our systems would not be paid for; as we have no means to track the work done
