The cost case

See your monthly bill — side by side.

With Zoom, every mentor who hosts sessions needs their own Pro account — 20 mentors means 20 Zoom licences, plus scheduling, storage and ops on top. Mentora charges per session, not per mentor seat.

Zoom scales with headcount. Each mentoring faculty member who runs their own room typically needs a paid host licence — so 20 mentors → 20 Zoom Pro accounts (₹1,100/mo + 18% GST ≈ ₹1,298/mo each). Mentora includes video for every mentor with zero per-seat video fees.

Illustrative monthly list prices, all incl. 18% GST. Mentora is prepaid and per session, metered in 30-min blocks — online tiers billed only as features fire: 10 live meeting, 20 recorded, 32 with transcription + AI. In-person sessions are cheaper (meeting free, 10 recorded, 22 with transcription + AI). The sliders above blend the online tiers by your session mix — you only pay the higher tier on the sessions that actually use it. See the full pricing table below. Volume discounts available — talk to sales.

One platform. One bill. One login per role.

Stop paying five vendors and chasing screenshots across four apps. Mentora is what coaching institutes adopt the day they stop accepting the “that's just how mentorship works” answer.

One place for everything

Mentor performance and student progress — finally in one dashboard.

No more guessing which mentor is carrying your results, or which aspirant is quietly slipping. Every session feeds analytics your ops team can actually act on — before standup, not after the exam.

Full session history, intake, copies and notes — per student.
A complete picture of every aspirant

Give every mentor a true 360° view of their student.

Courses, batches and groups; sessions, feedback and performance; plus the mock-test scores and course completions your own systems already capture — pulled together so the mentor walks into every session knowing exactly where the aspirant stands.

Courses, batches & groups

Organise your whole programme: a Course holds mentors and config; Batches are the cohorts aspirants enrol into; Groups inside each batch tag students by subject or track (Polity, Anthropology, etc.). Prelims, Mains, Optional and Interview tracks live side by side.

Feedback management

Two-way reviews after every session — mentor → aspirant notes and aspirant → mentor ratings — plus copy feedback and flags. Nothing lives in a mentor's head or a WhatsApp thread anymore.

Student performance

Session history, attendance, ratings, intake answers and progress against pre-Prelims / pre-Mains targets — trended per aspirant. The same scorecards your mentors and ops team act on.

Integrations for every system

Rolling out

Your LMS, CRM or test platform pushes data into Mentora over scoped API keys — mock-test scores, course completions, attendance, fee status. We surface it right next to the mentorship record.

Three steps

From zero to mentorship, in an afternoon.

You don't need a tech team. You don't need DNS changes. You don't need to train anyone.

Day 1
01

Start your institute

Sign up in three minutes on mentora.upclass.ai and claim a subdomain — abc.mentora.upclass.ai, or whatever name you like. Upload your logo, pick your colours, and get ₹500 in free wallet credit — no credit card.

Day 1
02

Invite your mentors

Add faculty mentor numbers in bulk — General Studies, Optional subjects (PSIR, Sociology, Public Ad, etc.), Essay, Interview. Each mentor gets an invite link, sets their availability and chooses subjects. Online-only or specific centres for in-person.

Day 2
03

Share your aspirant link

A single tokenised link for your whole batch — drop it into your WhatsApp broadcast, your LMS, or your test-series email. Aspirants self-register with phone OTP, land on a branded home, book a Prelims/Mains/Optional session in two taps.

Designed for mentorship-led institutes

Built around the work — not the toolchain you've outgrown.

Built for UPSC CSE coaching: Prelims, Mains and Interview prep at scale. Aspirants, faculty mentors and ops in one platform — replacing the Zoom + WhatsApp + Calendly + spreadsheet stack.

And every feature earns its place for the aspirant too — one branded app to book the right session, replay recordings, chat with their mentor, track tasks and see their own progress and mock scores in one place.

Built-in video

No Zoom account for each mentor.

Every booking opens a video room inside Mentora — direct peer-to-peer WebRTC, your branding, your domain. No logins to manage, no Pro licences to count, no upgrade prompts mid-session.

  • Mentor and student join with one click from their dashboard
  • Chat with file sharing, screen sharing, host controls
  • TURN-relayed so it works behind corporate firewalls

Predictable pricing

We debit only completed sessions, metered in 30-minute blocks (a call over 30 min counts as two): online is ₹10 for the live meeting, ₹20 recorded, ₹32 with transcription + AI. In-person is cheaper — the meeting is free, ₹10 recorded, ₹22 with transcription + AI. The monthly ₹5,000 credit is used within the month; top-ups above it roll over. No per-mentor licence.

  • ₹500 free wallet credit to start every institute

Session-level AI analytics.

  • Auto-extracted topics + action items per session
  • Confidence + engagement signals across the student's journey
  • Searchable across an entire cohort — find every student who hit a particular doubt

  • Action items: 1 essay this week, re-read pp. 84–112
  • Sentiment: engaged, slightly anxious about Mains

Mentor ↔ student chat

Inbuilt chat between mentors and students.

Persistent chat threads per mentor-student pair. Always available — not just in scheduled hours. Attachments, link previews, search. Senior mentors stop running side conversations on WhatsApp; the institute keeps the relationship.

  • Threaded conversations with attachments, read receipts, full search
  • Image, PDF, YouTube and link-preview support out of the box
  • Per-mentor engagement scorecard (volume, p50 reply, after-hours %)
Sir, the Mearsheimer essay is too dense — can you point me at a simpler intro?
Try Walt's 1998 piece first. I'll share a 2-pager I wrote — gives you the vocabulary you need.

Tasks + habits

Mentors assign tasks. We track them.

Mentors set weekly targets on Monday. Students see them on their dashboard. A Forest-style focus tracker keeps every subject as a different plant — when a study session ends without abandoning, a leaf grows. Students open the tracker without being asked.

  • Weekly targets + recurring tasks (e.g. "30-min revision · 5×/week")
  • Subject-by-subject focus timer with abandoned-session detection
  • Garden view across the cohort — mentor + admin can see at a glance

Walked through neorealism vs. constructivism using the post-1991 order as the worked example. You were comfortable with the Waltzian 3rd image; we slowed down on Mearsheimer's offensive realism because the assumption of state-as-rational-actor confused you.

For institute directors

Which mentor is teaching well this week — and which isn't?

Until now, the honest answer was “ask students, hope they tell you the truth.” Now you can see it in the data: who slows down for hard concepts, who drops examples, who runs over jargon. Coach the ones who need it.

  • Pace, example density, engagement — trended week over week per mentor
  • Auto-flagged sessions where a student went silent for > 6 minutes
  • Cross-mentor benchmarks scoped to your own institute — not a generic baseline

Questions directors ask

Everything you need before you switch.

No. Video is built into Mentora. Every booking opens a branded room — peer-to-peer WebRTC, TURN-relayed so it works behind firewalls. Mentor and aspirant join in one click from their dashboard. You buy zero Zoom licences.

Mentora is prepaid. You recharge a wallet and we debit only completed mentor sessions, metered in 30-minute blocks — a call up to 30 min is one block, and anything longer counts as two (billed ×2), and so on. For an online session the tiers per block are ₹10 for the live meeting, ₹20 if it's recorded, and ₹32 with transcription + AI analysis (one bundled tier). In-person (offline) sessions are cheaper: the meeting itself is free, ₹10 recorded, and ₹22 with transcription + AI. Recording and AI are optional per course. All rates are net — 18% GST is added once when you recharge, never on individual sessions. Each month opens with a ₹5,000 + GST top-up (₹5,900); after that you can top up any time from ₹1,000+. No per-mentor licence, no per-aspirant fee, no setup cost.

The first 30 days of every recording are free. After that, recordings you choose to keep are billed at ₹0.25 per GB per day until you delete them. Notifications are metered too — ₹0.05 per Mentora-sent email and ₹0.25 per SMS OTP (both net of GST). Bring your own email provider and the email charge goes away.

Correct. Add as many faculty mentors, aspirants and staff as you like — accounts are free on every tier. The video infrastructure auto-scales; we've tested 100+ concurrent rooms on a single institute. You only ever pay for completed sessions.

Yours. Every tenant gets a whitelabeled subdomain (e.g. yourinstitute.mentora.upclass.ai) with your logo, colours and email headers out of the box. Point your own mentorship.yourinstitute.com at us in two clicks — we issue the TLS certificate automatically.

Per-mentor scorecards (ratings, cadence breaches, engagement), per-aspirant progress and full session history, and institute-wide rollups — daily, weekly, monthly, with CSV export. AI session analytics (auto-notes, gist, teaching-style, sentiment) is rolling out across pilot tenants.

An afternoon. Sign up, claim your subdomain, upload branding, bulk-invite mentors, and share one tokenised link with your batch. No tech team, no DNS project, no training rollout. Aspirants self-register with phone OTP.

Recordings are stored on encrypted S3-compatible storage (Cloudflare R2). The first 30 days are free; after that you keep them as long as you like at ₹0.25 per GB per day, or delete them to stop the charge. The platform is multi-tenant with strict row-level isolation, so your institute's data never mixes with anyone else's.

Every new institute starts with ₹500 in wallet credit, so you can run real sessions end to end before paying anything. When you're ready, your first top-up each month is ₹5,000 + GST (₹5,900) and we debit completed sessions as they happen; add more any time from ₹1,000+. The ₹5,000 monthly credit is used within that month, while top-ups above it roll over. Volume discounts are set by sales once your numbers are clear.
