Those who have already arrived need to give a hand to this talent that is yet to prove its mettle. Innovation is a perpetual phenomenon though the starting point is the idea and ability to sync one\u2019s talent with the needs of people and turning that into a saleable and sustainable business proposition.<\/ins><\/p>\n<p><ins>Here, comes in the role of mentors. Mentoring has been on rise among new ventures and not without a reason. There are two ways of learning\u2026either by going through it or learning from the experience of those who have been through it. Mentoring goes with the latter. A mentor passes down the wisdom and experience accumulated over years probably the hard way to his mentee within a much shorter time frame. He guides him through the labyrinths of the business world till the time mentee learns the rope.<\/ins><\/p>\n<p><ins><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welingkar.org\/blogs\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_59123.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2131\" title=\"DSC_5912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.welingkar.org\/blogs\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_59123-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a>Somebody has rightly said, \u2018Children are like water: bottle them up and they stagnate; let them run wild and they make a mess; guide them and they bring life to all they touch&#8217;.
