The mentor was clear, practical, and very patient in explaining concepts. The guidance was honest and actionable, and it helped me get clarity on what to focus on next. Definitely worth the time and highly recommended.

He just cleared all my doubts & boost me about the open source. Main thing I liked about him was, how he thinks about the open source. He just enjoys it..... to contribute in open source. Really today my perspective about open source has really changed. "Open source is not just no of contributions you make but it's all about how much did you learn." Thank you Rajiv Sir for such a amazing guidance. Really it helped me lot...
