The Power of Mentorship: Shaping Tomorrow’s Women Leaders

Behind every successful individual, there is often a guiding presence—a mentor who believed, encouraged, and illuminated the path forward. Mentorship is more than advice; it's a trusted relationship that nurtures potential, builds confidence, and fosters long-term growth. For women, particularly those from underrepresented or underserved backgrounds, a mentor can be the difference between self-doubt and self-leadership.

The relevance of mentorship today is more critical than ever. As women continue to break barriers across industries, they need support systems that empower, challenge, and champion them. Mentorship provides this scaffold, enabling young women to navigate both personal and professional hurdles with strength and clarity.

Recent data reinforces this impact:

• According to the Mentor Study 2023, 74% of individuals with a meaningful mentor say that person significantly contributed to their later success in life.
• 85% of young people with a mentor say this relationship helped them with school-related challenges and educational direction.
• A Women Ahead report highlights that 87% of mentors and mentees feel empowered through mentorship, having developed increased self-confidence.
• Additionally, 82% believe mentoring fosters meaningful cross-functional connections, enhancing collaboration and growth across teams and organizations.

These numbers aren’t just statistics—they reflect real, measurable transformation. And this is exactly the kind of change Likhari Foundation is working to create.

How Likhari Foundation Is Leading Through Mentorship

At Likhari Foundation, we understand that underprivileged girls often lack not just opportunities, but also direction. Through our mentorship programs, we pair young girls with compassionate and experienced mentors who serve as role models, guides, and listeners. These relationships empower them to discover their potential, make informed decisions, and envision a life beyond limitations.

Whether it's help with career guidance, building soft skills, or overcoming personal obstacles, our mentors are shaping the next generation of women leaders—not just with knowledge, but with belief.

Brahma Tank: Mentorship in Entrepreneurship

This commitment to mentorship extends beyond education. Brahma Tank, a venture investing platform founded by Gurmeet Likhari, not only funds promising entrepreneurs but actively mentors them. Every investment is backed with strategic guidance, operational support, and visionary direction. Entrepreneurs—especially women—are not just given capital but also the confidence to scale their ideas with purpose.

From young girls discovering their voice in classrooms to founders navigating high-stakes decisions in boardrooms, the power of mentorship is universal. It builds trust, shapes leaders, and most importantly, creates a cycle of empowerment that carries forward across generations.

Mentorship is more than a tool—it's a transformative force. At Likhari Foundation and Brahma Tank, we’re proud to stand behind it, using guidance and belief to help girls and women rise, lead, and create change that lasts.
