Startup mentor is person who help you to establish your startup in the very initial days.
As a startup founder one may have many things to figure out depending upon what kind of business
it is. And founders are not equally skilled in all aspects. So, they seek for person who have done the
same before or experience doing the same.
As a founder one may have an Idea and strategy to execute. But practical experience is the reality. If
founder is missing it, then certainly founder need the mentor with the practical experience.
Now startup mentor are those who knows there is lot to do. Actually everything needs to get started
from scratch. So, they know how much time, energy and focus required to mentor and support.
They would help so that you make your path and survive in the economy. Once you survive the
initial challenges, then comes growth mentors, who help you grow your business and presence.
I think there are three things that make a mentor helpful in a startup context.
❑ Experience. A mentor has made practical contact with many founders and startups and has
observed multiple events, repeatedly. This allows him/her to make connections between events,
and establish patterns — and therefore can guide better. IMHO, failure teaches you so much
more than success - probably because I have failed more than succeeded!!
❑ Trust. My mentors/mentees and I have a bond of trust. This means that we can confide in and be
confided in, and will not let each other down, when the chips are down. A mentor provides
confidence, faith and hope in good/bad/ugly times.
❑ Advise. Someone who offers unbiased suggestions about the best course of action to you, is
likely to be a good mentor.

I am an Entrepreneur, Startup & SME Consultant from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. I have 40 years
of experience in establishing, running and consulting businesses in different Business domains. I

Legal, Agri Business, Retail Market, Manufacturing, Networking & Hardware. I have developed
Web and Desktop Applications in different technologies. I have experience of creating and
heading a large team of people.
Introduction
What do I do ?Presently I am the Proprietor of BGT Info Solutions, Director of few Companies and Strategic
Advisor to many startups, SMEs and NGOs. My office is in Ahmedabad where I invite the
entrepreneurs to discuss about the startups. After spending almost 40 years in different types of
business, I gained good experience in raising and managing businesses. I also provide advisory &
consulting to startups entrepreneurs. I strive to help them in a way that they can build a great

grow in their respective field. I provide guidance on various aspects of business that an
entrepreneur may not have considered while deciding to set up a business or may lack expertise in
a particular area. You can visit my website www.bharatthakkar.com
Fee
I charge depending upon Project, Project Size and My Involvement.

I am variously an enabler, a catalyst, a teacher,
a coach, a mentor, a facilitator and a new pair
of eyes and ears.
I make no assumptions about your potential or
limitations I listen very carefully and
understand your needs, values and
aspirations.
I trust my instincts, skills, experience and
intelligence as tools that can help you to be
successful. I also have a huge (and growing)
toolbox of methods and ideas to share. I love
to learn, and I draw on a wide variety of
sources to find ideas that really work.
I believe in working in partnership along the
path towards your success, although you must
take your own decisions and make your own
commitment to action. This means that in the
end everything that you achieve belongs
completely to you.
I like to have some fun along the way. I like to
ask questions that makes you to think and see
things in new ways. I get passionate about
what I do whilst maintaining objectivity and
professionalism.
My Approach
I thrive on seeing people create much better
futures for themselves, and especially during
those “light bulb” moments when they
suddenly see, feel or understand things in a
new way.
My approach is holistic and most importantly,
is focused around your goals and values. It is
after all, your business.
I have been described as "a personal trainer
for business".
I find that most people love what they do. They
provide amazing services. But they don’t
necessarily fully understand how to run their
business, and they think something must be
wrong with them personally. Nothing’s wrong
with them! It’s just that no one has ever taught
them what to do!
The old model of business is “work hard and
get people to buy your stuff.” The new model
is Authenticity, Service and Wealth. When you
learn to create your business in the new
model, people thank you for being successful.
They thank you for who you are and what
you’ve created. (You get to thank them too!)

My Approach to Business Success
Business is all about relationships. The success of your business depends on how you
form and maintain relationships with others. This includes your co-owners, employees, and
customers. Business owners often overlook how central this factor is and forget to
emphasize it with their employees. I will help you evaluate the personnel dynamics of your
work environment and their effects on business and provide a new plan for successful
communication that includes employee management and customer service skills.
The biggest barrier to the growth of your business can be your own fear. Personal fears
can be both rational and irrational, commonly existing around issues such as being good
enough, selling yourself, and indecision about giving your business the time and commitment
that is needed for its growth. These fears need to be addressed in order for your confidence,
and your business, to grow. I will help you identify personal barriers that hold you back in the
marketing of your business and teach you new skills so that you can promote yourself and
your business with confidence.
Cultivating Relationships
Optimizing Confidence
Your strengths and talents are why people frequent your business. Rather than just
existing in a competitive market, learn to identify and focus on what makes you and your
business unique so that you can stand out above others. I will help you realize your unique
strengths and develop a custom-designed marketing plan that includes speaking about your
business confidently in order to create desire.
Even successful businesses become complacent over time. The perception of your
business as being stale or stagnant is not what you want your customer to walk away with.
You can maintain your niche and make changes that lend a fresh tone to your business at
the same time. I will help you learn to conduct market research to keep up with new trends
in order to appeal to new customers and create reasons for your existing customers to
continue coming back.
Identifying Your Niche
Keeping a Pulse on Marketplace Trends
