Searching for the creator of Mentr? Mentr by Paprly was created by Adarsh Singh — a Bengaluru-based software engineer, SIH 2024 winner, and ex-Founding Engineer at Paprly. This page answers who built Mentr, why it is free and open source, and where to find Adarsh on LinkedIn.
Adarsh Singh created Mentr by Paprly. Mentr is a free tutor-parent connector: parents search verified tutors, send connect requests, and unlock WhatsApp only after mutual acceptance — with ₹0 platform fee and no commission on sessions. The codebase is MIT open source so anyone can verify there is no hidden paywall.
Edtech platforms often charge for contact, coins, or lead packs. Adarsh’s stated aim is blunt: keep things that should be free, free. Search stays free. Listing as a tutor stays free. Contact after mutual accept stays free. Open-sourcing Mentr makes that promise auditable — not just marketing copy.
Mentr is a Paprly product. Paprly builds free and open tools for education and business. Mentr sits in that ecosystem: parents and tutors use it at zero cost; developers fork the MIT repo and ship improvements back via pull request.
