The Mentor

From Someone Who’s Been There

Hellooo! I’m Mayank — an engineer turned designer, NID AIR 1, and recipient of India’s Best Design Student award. Over the last few years, I’ve helped hundreds of aspirants who are now making their mark in design.

Previously at Deloitte and the Aadhaar team, now on experimenting the intersection of design, systems, and impact. Along the way, I’ve been recognized as a top 1% mentor in the design ed space.

My mission is simple: to distil years of learning into a proven, self-paced system that gives you the clarity and confidence to crack design exams—and build a meaningful future in design.

The session with mayank is quite helpful with respect to universal design. My doubts related to what to include in portfolio , how to present during the jury , things to avoid and possible mistakes got cleared in very understandable manner.

The portfolio review session was incredibly insightful. Strong, practical suggestions that have genuinely helped me improve my portfolio and get through the interview processes with more confidence. What stood out the most was his engaging and humorous way of explaining things, which made the session both informative and enjoyable.

It felt like I was talking to my elder brother- but definitely more helpful and real. I have to mention the fact that his real and honest opinions and facts were incredibly helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course for?

Anyone preparing for design entrances: B.Des or M.Des — NID, IITs, NIFT or other design schools — whether you’re just starting out or refining your prep.

How is this course different from coaching?

This isn’t about fixed formulas. It focuses on how to think like a designer — breaking down problems, building creative reflexes, and managing time under pressure.

What if I can’t afford it right now?

If you genuinely need financial help, reach out. I’d rather you learn than skip it for money reasons — we’ll figure something out together.

How do I use the course best?

Treat it like a mentor sitting next to you. Plug in your earphones, listen while you sketch, pause when something clicks.

I’ve already joined a class. Should I still get this?

If your coaching gives you “what” to study, this gives you “how.” Think of it as the missing layer between content and clarity.

How long do I have access to the course?

Your access lasts for one full prep cycle — roughly a year — on a single device. That’s all you need to make the most of it before your exam.
