How Quantel is changing the way mentorships are received

This inspiring story is of a rising startup called Quantel started by Lucky Rohilla and Rishabh Garg in the edtech space. Quantel has recently raised Pre-seed funding from an Angel investor from California. Here is the story of Quantel in their own words

The meaning of the word Quantel is, “One who has a fine mind and loves to talk”. We created this consultation platform so that people here can get 1:1 mentorship from the Industry Marvels, across the various domains. And not just this, we offer much more, with top resumes and cover letter templates, LinkedIn Handbooks, Interview Questions guide, and these are just some of our services.

Our aim is to make this platform, the world’s most affordable and interactive space for students and professionals.

What is Quantel all about? How will they add value to Edtech Space?

Quantel is a user-friendly interactive platform to help students and professionals connect and book a 1:1 session with their favorite experts in almost any domain (Consulting, Analytics, Data Science, AI/ML, IT, Legal, Blogging, Entrepreneurship, Content creation, Social media influencers) with just a click. A one-stop solution to get any query solved by subject matter experts and gain directed insights and up to date information.

Quantel wants every student to get the required experience and the guidance they are lacking in their field. We are helping the students to pursue their passion and convert them into a profession. We want this place to be a home for each of their queries, and they find a proper solution to it.

What is the strategy story of Quantel? What led them to start in the competitive edtech domain?

The lack of knowledge about the conventional domains and nearly non-existing information of the non-conventional domains over the internet and the usual places one refers to, made us think of solutions to this issue and Quantel was the result. Having faced those same problems, kept us hooked and motivated to build this virtual consultation platform for students and professionals.

I (Lucky Rohilla) with my co-founder Rishabh Garg, from NIT Kurukshetra, formed Quantel. Initially, our idea was to create a hub for all college students so they can come together to look for opportunities and events but as we progressed and grew we found ourselves at this place and quite happy with it.

Our aim and vision have started forming a solid shape in front of us, a space where students and professionals come together and solve this ‘lack of information’ issue and solve problems in the current ecosystem and create an impact on society. At this point, we have quite a few marvels connected with us and quite many students and our team is doing their best.

What marketing and operations strategies is Quantel adopting?

Having an efficient, dedicated team is the biggest asset to a company. We have majorly young minds in our team who are doing their best to ensure the growth of this firm and some of the experienced ones who teach us something new every day.

Adding to it we have a decent social media presence and a committed team of Campus Ambassadors. These strategies act as a primary tool to market our campaigns.

Furthermore, we are connected with societies, clubs, and placement cells of numerous colleges in India, to build our brand and market our services. Apart from this, we use our personal connections as our target audience. There’s no single tactic that we can claim to have been the only reason for our success, each step and social platforms had their own role to play and added up a great value to Quantel.

Any strategy mistakes you have made and what were your learning?

We believe mistakes are important for one to learn something and without making any errors one cannot get a hang of what is right and what is wrong.

During our initial branding stage, our main loophole was that we didn’t give our audience a field or a domain for them to relate Quantel with. We focused more on our product marketing.

Though, soon enough we were able to correct our mistakes and create better content that not only was relatable but even attracted the audience. We now have a fair amount of audience on our website and social media for us to engage with.

Finally what advice you have for your fellow entrepreneur readers?

I would like to start by saying that regrets hurt more than failures, so do whatever you feel good with. Results are always aftercome. If it turns negative then you learn something from it or if it’s positive then well and good.

Be eager and open to explore and find the opportunities coming your way. With all this, the major thing is to find a good team. A team that sees your start-up as its own and gives its best to make it work. A team that is going to have your back if you feel demotivated at some point.
