I am very keen on the concept of leadership and would like to build a career on this. What would be my short-term and long-term career options apart from research?
I also heard about leadership mentoring. How relevant and popular is this in India for a career path?

In your personal information column, it is indicated that you are a student. However, you have not indicated your subject. One simple thing to learn is that anyone can become a leader. Leaders can be found in all fields.
However, it is challenging to become a leader. To remain a leader for a long time is an even tougher proposition. Read books and articles on leadership. Depending on your time and resources, you can attend programs on leadership.

It appears that you have confused the concept of leadership, and this confusion can only be clarified when you read books on leadership. "Leadership is not a position but a response to a situation," said Stephen Covey. An organization can only grant Positional Power to an employee, but how he/she exercises it shows the leadership qualities of that person.
Leadership as a Way of Life
Leadership cannot be a goal in life; rather, leadership is a way of life. Leaders are known to rise to correct something when they find the situation merits positive change. Therefore, irrespective of the position you may acquire, your leadership will be determined by the positive change you try to foster. To bring about positive change, leaders must have complete conviction. Their sense of conviction is often seen in the way they carry themselves or the way they act and interact. Their behavior inspires others, attracting followers.
Training Programs on Leadership
Though there are training programs on leadership, in all practical aspects, what goes on is just a discussion on leadership. It is a discussion on leadership qualities, a discussion on the management style of past business leaders, and why leadership failed. In the training programs, efforts are made to educate the participants on why leadership succeeded or failed.
