Who We Are
A platform that connects experienced corporate leaders and global CXOs with ambitious professionals who need real, honest career guidance.
What We Do
We enable on-demand voice calls between verified mentors and users. Pay only per minute — no subscriptions, no packages, no fluff.
Why We Exist
Expert guidance was locked away in exclusive networks. We're opening that door — making the wisdom of leaders accessible to every professional, everywhere.
Our vision

Bridging two worlds.
One conversation at a time.

"An experienced CXO has wisdom that could change someone's career in a 10-minute call. That conversation was never possible before. विKALप makes it happen — every day."
The Wisdom Side
Experienced Leaders & Global CXOs
Decades of corporate leadership. Boardroom experience. Hard-won lessons. These leaders have time, energy, and a genuine desire to give back — विKALप gives them the stage.
  • Experienced corporate executives
  • Global CXOs & VPs
  • Domain experts & specialists
  • Senior professionals with time to share
The Ambition Side
Ambitious Professionals
Mid-career professionals navigating real decisions — a difficult manager, a job offer, a career pivot. They don't need a course. They need five minutes with someone who's already been there.
  • Early to mid-career professionals
  • People at career crossroads
  • Professionals facing workplace challenges
  • Anyone who needs a trusted sounding board

Our commitment

A purpose beyond
just a platform.

Society is stronger when experience flows freely from those who have it to those who need it. Every call on विKALप isn't just a transaction — it's a transfer of wisdom that can change a career, a family, a life.

Democratising Expert Access
Top-tier career guidance was only available to those with the right network or expensive consultants. We're making it accessible to every professional, everywhere.
Empowering Experienced Leaders
A lifetime of experience shouldn't go unshared. विKALप gives experienced leaders a meaningful, flexible way to keep creating impact — entirely on their own terms.
Wisdom That Would Otherwise Be Lost
Every year, brilliant minds step back from full-time work and their hard-earned lessons risk going unshared. विKALप preserves and passes that wisdom forward to the next generation of leaders.

Zero Compromise on Quality

Every mentor is verified.
Every call is real.

Anyone can claim experience. We don't take that at face value. Every विKALप mentor clears a rigorous 7-stage verification — before speaking to a single user.

01
Experience Threshold
25+ Years of Experience
Only professionals with 25 or more years of verifiable corporate experience are eligible to mentor on विKALप. A lifetime of expertise, not just a CV entry.
02
Identity Verified
Phone Number OTP
We verify each mentor's mobile number via one-time password authentication to confirm genuine identity before the application proceeds.
03
Communication Secured
Email Verification
A verified email address confirms official communication channels and provides a second layer of identity validation prior to any further review.
04
Digital Proof
LinkedIn Profile Verification
We cross-check employment history, designation, tenure, and industry against the mentor's LinkedIn profile. No fabricated CVs. No inflated titles.
05
Legal Identity
PAN Card Validation
Government-issued PAN card verification confirms legal identity and enables transparent, compliant mentor payouts via our secure payment gateway.
06
Physical Proof
Offer Letter / Resignation Letter
Mentors submit their official offer letter, resignation, or relieving letter from their last employer. Our team authenticates the document to confirm real corporate tenure.
07
Human Approval
1-2-1 Interview with Founder
Every mentor sits in a live interview with our founder — where we assess domain depth, communication clarity, empathy, and mentoring mindset. Only the best pass.
विKALप Verified™
Only 1 in 5 applicants clears all seven stages and earns the right to mentor.
