Abstract

This study explores mentoring in an organization with a largely flat structure, consisting of Gen Y employees. In-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted on both mentors and protégées in a start-up company consisting of about 300 employees, which is in aggressive growth-mode. This study suggests that Gen Y has high expectations of mentoring as a process, and greater willingness to try new mentoring models consisting of multiple mentors. Demographic factors such as caste affiliations were seen to be a hindrance to mentoring.
