How does PathMates work?
Explorers read real experience stories — the startup cost, the timeline, the income, the mistakes — and book 1:1 video calls with the person who lived them. You browse, you pick someone whose journey matches your goal, and you ask anything.
What happens after I book a call?
Payment is processed securely via Razorpay. Once it goes through, your booking is confirmed and your call link appears in My Bookings, ready for your scheduled time.
What if my PathMate doesn't attend?
You're covered by our 100% refund guarantee: if your PathMate doesn't attend the call, you get a full refund. No questions asked.
What does a call cost?
Calls are available in 15, 30, 45 and 60-minute tiers. Indian users pay in ₹ (INR); everyone else pays in $ (USD).
How do I become a PathMate?
Share your experience from the Share page and start accepting bookings. Once your story is live, Explorers can find it, read it, and book 1:1 calls with you.
Is my payment information safe?
Yes. Payments are processed by Razorpay with UPI, Visa and Mastercard. We never see or store your card details — card information goes directly to Razorpay's secure checkout.
Who verifies the PathMates?
Verified badges mark mentors we've confirmed. Verification is an extra trust signal — every story on PathMates is from a real person with real numbers.
How do I get my call link?
Your call link appears in My Bookings as soon as your booking is confirmed. Open My Bookings any time to see your upcoming calls and their links.
