"At an emotional level, people strive for affirmation and validation, and at a rational level they want a sounding board and a shoulder to lean on," said Satya Iluri, CEO and co-founder, iMantri. "iMantri fulfills these needs for employees, executives, entrepreneurs and other career-minded individuals by providing a way for them to find mentors who possess the competencies they are seeking or who can help with specific goals, while simultaneously offering their own competencies and wisdom to others."
