I am one of the co-founders of a student-led startup called GRADHIVE dedicated to transforming career guidance and college counseling for high school students. We provide a platform where students from grades 9–12 can connect directly with mentors who are already studying in the colleges they aspire to join. By bridging the gap between aspiration and experience, GRADHIVE ensures that students make informed academic and career decisions with confidence.
How We Operate
Our platform functions as a peer-to-peer mentorship network. We onboard credible mentors from top institutes and connect them with students seeking authentic guidance. Through interactive sessions, mentees gain insights into campus culture, hostel life, professors, clubs, and academic opportunities that professional counselors cannot provide.
What We Aim To Do
We aim to make mentorship accessible, affordable, and relatable. Instead of one-size-fits-all counseling, GRADHIVE delivers personalized guidance rooted in real experiences. Our focus is on empowering students to understand not just where to study, but what it truly feels like to be there.
What We Have Achieved
Onboarded 10+ mentors, including students with All India Ranks 17 and 113
Guided 50+ students in making more confident academic choices
Built a trusted, comfortable, and pressure-free mentorship model that benefits both students and mentors
Our Goal
We envision scaling GRADHIVE into a nationwide ecosystem where every high schooler can access relevant, experience-driven guidance before entering higher education. Our long-term goal is to establish GRADHIVE as the most trusted platform for bridging the gap between ambition and reality.
What We Fill in Society
GRADHIVE addresses the lack of authentic, college-specific mentorship in the current education system. While professional counselors are expensive and often disconnected from ground realities, our platform democratizes access to insights that matter most. We not only reduce stress for students and parents but also create opportunities for mentors to contribute, earn, and inspire. Ultimately, GRADHIVE fosters a culture of shared learning and mentorship that strengthens the student community as a whole.
