We went to ID Mentors in late 2015 just as we were on the verge of launching a major Mentor Development Workshop. We had the content but it just did not look professional enough or flow well. They turned it around in 3 weeks adding beautiful visuals and interactions. Äny one who saw it asked, “Who has made this?” Soon, our team started calling them the Delhi girls. Then, we had an Investor program to develop. This time we did not have the content. All we had were some rough slides and a draft agenda. My team said, “Bring the Delhi girls.” And they very efficiently and quietly just...Read more

Professional expertise in any field of work is founded on two major ideologies: passion for learning and ingenuity.

My first experience with ID Mentors was when I administered the ID flair test to screen my ID team members.

Every participant I have suggested this course to has found the content practical and relevant to their daily tasks. The...Read more

– Mathematics and Project Manager, Global Virtual Classroom "I always associated creativity with art forms. As a Mathematics Teacher for 30+ years, activities projects/models enabled me to correlate creativity in the context of my subject. Yet I would say I learnt more than I taught when "creative freedom" was given its due status in the context of Classroom teaching and learning. Now as a retired home teacher this realisation of mine was reinforced during the Creative Quest Workshop by ID MENTORS in which I participated. Purnima' s clarity in thought and speech, no doubt her assets...Read more

Feedback provided by the team that attended the Advanced ID Strategies Workshop   The training was very well structured and conceptualized. Both trainers (Purnima and Ruchi), have huge experience in this field and their experience was critical for workshop's success. This intervention will definitely help my team recommend and create innovative designs and learning solutions.   Learning & Development, EY Global Delivery Network India, Kochi Centre

The ID training is a thriller! It opens the mind of apprehensive educators to embracing technology beyond power points, smart boards and smart classrooms. Digital tools that are so easily available take on a whole new meaning when wedded to the learning process. The opportunity lies in using these tools along with the curriculum to design instructional experiences that are personalized and authentic. Learning will then be an inevitable by product for the learner.
