This edited collection explores the variations of mentoring in
India in comparison to western models, providing rich contextual
interpretation and paving the way for a greater understanding of
mentoring as a phenomenon. With India having the world’s largest
youth population, its longstanding mentoring tradition is
increasingly being replaced by emerging mentoring models in which
younger generations are constantly exposed to both Indian and
western influences. Paying particular attention to formal and
informal mentoring models, the contributions cover the corporate
sector, higher education, the developmental sector and venture
capitalist-enabled entrepreneurial mentoring. Offering a uniquely
non-western perspective, this innovative study also showcases
both mentor and protégé perceptions of mentoring, and will be of
great appeal to both practitioners and scholars of leadership.
