Mentorship
INR 49,999
per mentee · 8-week engagement
Decision lens: Choose mentorship only when private review of real material is worth more than another course or group call.
Current status: Application-only founder capacity
Ready now: Scheduled manually after a fit conversation; strongest when the learner brings a real project, role transition, founder question, or career decision.
No automated checkout: WhatsApp fit-check before payment.
Fit audit
Before choosing Mentorship, compare the support surface.
The right support path is not the most expensive path. It is the smallest support layer that changes the work you can finish, review, and explain.
Read first: The public syllabus stays available without signup, email gate, checkout, or login.
Choose optional support only if it changes output: An optional support path must improve the learner artifact: repository, demo, roadmap, project review, or workshop output.
No outcome promise: The page may describe support and proof, but not placement, salary, hiring access, or hidden partnership claims.
Public proof
Stay public if reading is enough.
Use the 20 lessons, blog, glossary, and reading paths first. Do not pay before you know what support would change.
INR 0
Lower layer
Cohort may already be enough.
If Cohort can produce the needed proof outcome, start there instead of overpaying for founder time.
INR 14,999
This path
Mentorship changes one specific layer.
A career switcher, founder, or engineer with stakes high enough that private review is worth more than another course. Proof outcome: Reviewed code or project direction, four session notes, and a written next-step roadmap.
INR 49,999
Upgrade only if
Architecture Review changes the work.
Move higher only when Mentorship is too thin for the support, accountability, or review surface you actually need.
INR 24,999
Operating model
Mentorship works only when private founder time has real material.
This path is for a serious project, career transition, founder decision, or codebase that needs structured 1:1 review over eight weeks.
No support path is sold as magic. The learner or institution brings context, ABCsteps provides the support surface, and the final standard is inspectable proof.
Input
What you bring
Bring a concrete project, career move, codebase, roadmap question, or product decision; 1:1 time is wasted without real material.
Fit-check
What gets confirmed first
The fit-check confirms whether four private sessions are justified, or whether Cohort, Architecture Review, or public work is enough.
Delivery
How support is delivered
Delivery runs through four scheduled private sessions, between-session async support, code/project review, and a written roadmap.
Proof
What should exist after
The outcome should be reviewed code or project direction, four session notes, and a written next-step roadmap.
Stay lower if
Cohort already solves it.
Do not choose Mentorship if Cohort can already create the proof outcome you need.
Choose this if
Mentorship changes the artifact.
Choose this path only when it improves the expected proof outcome: Reviewed code or project direction, four session notes, and a written next-step roadmap.
Upgrade only if
Architecture Review is truly needed.
Move above Mentorship only when the higher support surface changes the work more than this path can.
What changes in practice
Mentorship is for a concrete project, not vague motivation.
The 1:1 path earns its price only when the learner brings real stakes: a project that must ship, a codebase that needs review, a career move that needs direction, or a founder decision that should not drift.
Decision lens: Choose mentorship only when private review of real material is worth more than another course or group call.
Private material
Sessions start from your real context.
Bring the project, repo, role transition, product question, or roadmap decision. The work is specific because the input is specific.
Eight-week arc
Progress happens between calls.
Four sessions create direction, but the value appears in the implementation, notes, async questions, and decisions made between them.
Roadmap output
The end state is written direction.
The engagement should leave reviewed code or project direction, session notes, and a next-step roadmap that can guide the next phase.
Before you message
Make the first WhatsApp message useful.
The fastest enrollment conversation is not a sales call. It is a fit-check with enough context to decide whether the public syllabus is enough, or whether Mentorship will actually change your output.
This is still a static page: no form, no checkout, no account, no hidden learner database. Send the context directly on WhatsApp only when you are ready.
01 · Level
Current starting point
Share the real project, career move, codebase, or founder decision that would justify private review.
Send: the project, transition, or decision I want to bring into 1:1 work.
02 · Time
Weekly study runway
Private founder time needs a real eight-week runway and enough material between sessions.
Send: my eight-week availability, session timing constraints, and between-session work capacity.
03 · Proof
Target artifact
Name the concrete project, roadmap, codebase, or career decision that must improve by the end.
Send: the proof outcome I want after four private sessions and what would make it useful.
04 · Boundary
What you expect from support
Be clear why the problem needs private founder time instead of cohort rhythm or one architecture review.
Send: why mentorship is the right level instead of cohort or architecture review.
Current delivery
Choose only when this delivery solves the need.
These pages state what can be delivered now, who the right-fit learner or institution is, and what proof should come out of the engagement.
Current status
Application-only founder capacity
Ready now
Scheduled manually after a fit conversation; strongest when the learner brings a real project, role transition, founder question, or career decision.
Right-fit learner/team
A career switcher, founder, or engineer with stakes high enough that private review is worth more than another course.
Proof outcome
Reviewed code or project direction, four session notes, and a written next-step roadmap.
Value split
What the support changes.
Every support path must earn its price by changing the learner's work, institution output, or project decision, not by hiding the syllabus. Use these four checks before choosing this path.
Ready now
Current delivery is explicit.
Scheduled manually after a fit conversation; strongest when the learner brings a real project, role transition, founder question, or career decision.
Support value
The fee buys guided support.
Everything in Cohort support + four private 1-hour video sessions with Divyanshu over 8 weeks
Proof outcome
The engagement must leave evidence.
Reviewed code or project direction, four session notes, and a written next-step roadmap.
Fit guard
This support path is not for everyone.
Learners who do not have a real project, role, or career question to bring (the structure of 1:1 needs concrete material)
Best for
- Career changers making a serious move — engineering bootcamp graduates, switchers from non-tech
- Founders learning to ship a real product alongside the curriculum
- Engineers who want directed feedback on a real codebase or career decision
- Anyone who has tried self-paced learning and discovered they need direct accountability
Not the right fit if
- Learners who do not have a real project, role, or career question to bring (the structure of 1:1 needs concrete material)
- Anyone who wants only the recordings (the lower support paths cover that)
What you receive
Included with Mentorship
Everything in Cohort support
Four private 1-hour video sessions with Divyanshu, scheduled over 8 weeks
Code review of one real project of your choice
A written next-step roadmap document at the end of the engagement
Direct WhatsApp / email access to Divyanshu during the 8 weeks
Founder-prioritized async replies inside the 8-week engagement scope
Honest exclusions
- The 1-hour sessions are not unlimited — four sessions is the engagement scope
- Project implementation is on you; the mentorship gives direction, review, and unblocking
Delivery proof
What this support path actually helps you practice.
The support path is useful only if it turns study into inspectable work: repositories, demos, review notes, deployment decisions, and project explanations.
Tool and platform logos are context references only: no affiliation, endorsement, interview access, hiring promise, salary promise, or placement guarantee.
Private sessions
Founder time goes into your real material.
Mentorship is strongest when you bring a project, codebase, career move, or product decision that needs directed review.
Architecture direction
Cloud choices become explicit.
The work can cover deployment shape, provider tradeoffs, and what to skip so your next steps stay realistic.
AI product layer
Model features stay bounded.
AI work is treated as product engineering: server boundaries, provider errors, structured payloads, and cost awareness.
How a typical engagement runs
From enquiry to outcome.
- 01
WhatsApp application
Send a short message describing your real project, career situation, or technical question. Mentorship needs concrete material to work on.
- 02
Fit conversation
A 20-minute call confirms whether mentorship is the right support path, or whether Job-Ready, Cohort, or Architecture Review is a better fit.
- 03
Engagement begins
Job-Ready and Cohort support are activated. The four 1:1 sessions are scheduled across 8 weeks based on your milestones.
- 04
Working sessions
Each 1-hour session is structured: progress, blockers, code review, next-step plan. No filler.
- 05
Roadmap document
At the end of week 8, a written roadmap document — what you accomplished, what is next, what to skip — that you can refer back to for the next year.
Honest answers
FAQ
Why is Mentorship limited to 5/month?
Because 1:1 sessions take real founder time — 4 hours per mentee, plus prep and async questions. Five mentees a month is the honest limit while keeping quality high.
What if I do not finish the curriculum during 8 weeks?
That is normal. The 8-week clock is for the live engagement; delivered support materials remain available through the direct-delivery channel. You finish at your own pace.
Can mentorship be focused on one specific topic?
Yes. If you bring a focused goal — "ship a Stripe integration", "decide between AWS and GCP", "prepare a role transition" — the four sessions can be tightly scoped to that.
Is this for beginners?
Not really. Mentorship works best when you have something concrete to bring — a project, a job search, a stack decision. If you are starting from zero, Job-Ready or Cohort is a better first step.
Do I need to be in India?
No. Sessions are video-based and the time zone is IST, but mentees from outside India schedule in evening or morning IST slots.
Decision gate
Decide from fit, not urgency.
These support paths use real founder time. The right answer is sometimes to keep using the public proof layer, sometimes to ask one focused question, and sometimes to choose the support surface.
Choose only if
This support changes the work.
Choose Mentorship only when the support surface helps you produce the proof outcome: Reviewed code or project direction, four session notes, and a written next-step roadmap.
Stay lower if
A lower path already solves it.
Learners who do not have a real project, role, or career question to bring (the structure of 1:1 needs concrete material)
Ask first
Fit is confirmed directly.
Send the page you read, the blocker or goal, and the outcome you expect. The next step can be reading, one question, or enrollment.
Direct fit-check
Message or call Divyanshu when this support would change the work.
Every support enquiry is intentionally human-confirmed: a short WhatsApp conversation matches the learner, founder time, and expected proof outcome before any payment step.
