Bhutan: E-platform launched for young entrepreneurs

The platform is expected to help budding entrepreneurs as well as innovators of the Himalayan nation.

Princess Chimi Yangzom Wangchuck, the Vice President of YDF and the daughter of the fourth King of the country Jigme Singye Wangchuk, inaugurated the platform in Thimpu city on Sunday.

The e-Mentoring platform is a website, on which, one can either register as a mentor to provide guidance by sharing your knowledge and skills or can register as a mentee to avail guidance and support from the skilled mentos, according to The Bhutan Live as quoted by ANI in its report.

Kinley Tenzin, Chief of Social Enterprises at YDF was quoted as saying by ANI, “Now it’s the age of technology so, we are leveraging on this technological integration which is why we have come up with this e-platform. It can seamlessly connect people and these people are people who have expertise, skills and knowledge. Therefore, we wanted to act as a catalyst and act as a linkage by connecting these dots.”

“I am hopeful that with the launch of the e-mentorship platform, people will start signing up for this platform, as a mentee or as a mentor. Then, we also hope that people who are experts in their subject, business or industries, whatever skills they have will come forward,” he said.
