        abstract = {The rapid expansion of digital education and professional development has created a significant demand for accessible, peer-to-peer mentorship solutions. Traditional mentorship systems face barriers including geographical limitations, high costs, and scheduling constraints that limit their effectiveness for students and young professionals. This paper presents Peer Verse, a comprehensive peer-to-peer mentorship platform that leverages modern web technologies to facilitate knowledge transfer between individuals who have navigated similar educational and career challenges. The system utilizes Web RTC for real-time video communication, Socket.IO for instant messaging, and a serverless architecture built on Railway backend and Vercel frontend deployment. The platform implements a unique 10-minute session model with accessible pricing (100 INR per session) and equitable revenue sharing (70% mentor, 30%platform). The system integrates Neon PostgreSQL for data management, Mailjet for email services, and incorporates community features including blogs and discussion groups. Performance analysis demonstrates 95% session completion rates and 4.2/5.0 average user satisfaction scores, indicating effective value delivery in the rapidly growing peer mentorship market projected to reach $4.11 billion by 2033.},
