MEET THE MENTORS
Nitin Kumar- 41 Batches
Am truly grateful to be a part of this wonderful movement initiated by FEA. A big thanks to Ms. Laxmi whom I met in June 2019 at the park above Palika Bazar, New Delhi. The first unofficial session conducted with those few students in the same park gave me a special purpose. And no looking back.

My experience with FEA has been truly transformative, and the highlight has undoubtedly been interacting with the students. The mentoring sessions were not only highly engaging but also incredibly enriching.

Volunteering as a mentor for FEA India has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. It has provided me with an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young students, while also enriching my own life in ways I never imagined.

My mentorship journey with FEA has been incredibly rewarding. Guiding various batches of students, I’ve witnessed their growth as they discover suitable career paths. The program designed by FEA not only empowers them with essential skills but also instills confidence, enabling them to pursue professional opportunities. It's a privilege to contribute to their futures and see them thrive.

FEA Virtual Mentoring has significantly enriched my path as a passionate educator. Engaging with students from over 2500 kilometers away has been incredibly fulfilling. The true magic of this organization lies in the inspiring young supporting facilitators, who push me to reach new heights after every session.

As an economist, I find that FEA’s mentor program has a much higher benefit-cost ratio than I have seen anywhere; the benefits to the students are very high while the costs to me as a mentor are minimal. As a teacher, it has been a pleasure to work with students whom

Mentoring with FEA has been an incredible journey! After working with over 10 batches, I feel like I’ve seen it all – from nervous beginnings to confident breakthroughs. It’s been so rewarding to watch the students grow, and honestly, I think I’ve learned as much from them as they have from me. Mentoring these future rockstars has been a blast—and a great reminder that dedication is truly a superpower!

FEA is doing a great job in providing a platform where young persons go through a course topped by the mentorship classes, leading to development of their capabilities as well as clarity in making career choices. I have done more than 50 classes (with 10+ batches), and find that students are quite motivated and want to make a mark and improve their life, more so, the girls.

Mentoring at FEA has been the most satisfying and fulfilling work of my life. It’s a low-cost-high dividend exercise. I offer encouragement, guidance, tips and strategies about life skills, speaking, writing, presentations, decision-making, planning for eventualities, and broadening of horizons.
Vineeta Tanwar- 11 Batches
I believe FEA is an epitome of meaningfulness and motivation for all those who are associated with it. Three years ago, when I started mentoring sessions, little I knew how it’s going to be like.
But the journey to date is much more than that.
Kavita Kakkad- 10 Batches
My experience with FEA students has been wonderful and enriching! Each batch is full of students that are talented, ambitious, and interesting. It’s been rewarding to talk with them, as I’ve realized that sharing my life experiences and observations can be helpful to the younger generation!
Raghavendra B R- 10 Batches
Being a Mentor is more important than ever-and you will get more out of the relationship than you think is my personal experience.
My role focuses on mentoring as a relationship rather than a role with a set of preconceived duties.

It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to guide and support students on their academic and professional journeys. I've had the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of interests. I've helped them set goals, develop their skills, and build confidence.
Subodh Mathur
As an economist, I find that FEA’s mentor program has a much higher benefit-cost ratio than I have seen anywhere; the benefits to the students are very high while the costs to me as a mentor are minimal. As a teacher, it has been a pleasure to work with students whom I don’t have to teach – I just guide them to learn on their own. As an Indian, it is so heartening to get to know hardworking, motivated young people who are looking to get ahead – India cannot get ahead unless they do. FEA – you are doing a great job!
Amit Shah
Mentoring at FEA has been the most satisfying and fulfilling work of my life. It’s a low-cost-high dividend exercise. I offer encouragement, guidance, tips and strategies about life skills, speaking, writing, presentations, decision-making, planning for eventualities, and broadening of horizons. The students are the future of India, the largest single demographic. They must do better than their parents for India to progress. The rewards for me as a mentor are almost immediate. By session 5, the last session, they are eager, prepared, and energized. Their thirst of learning is apparent. It’s a win-win.
Anushka Jayasankar
Mentoring is an extremely uplifting experience both for the mentor and mentee as learning is purely in the form of experiences shared, and it really opens the mind to different situations of life for both parties. I am grateful to FEA for providing a safe space for students to express themselves and understand their strengths and areas of development, as well as provide the ideal resources to make them realize the best version of themselves. It gives me utmost joy and fulfillment to build relationships with these students and be part of their growth trajectory!
