Your network is your net worth.

10 Jan 2022

In this millennial era, where we are surrounded by technology and social media, you DO need a network and cannot live under a rock anymore. We need to understand that social interactions and personal well-being have a direct impact on our net worth as that is how we bring more efficiency out of ourselves. According to an article by Harvard Business School, networking has its own set of advantages such as gathering the relevant information, getting access to diverse skill sets and getting to know the right people who can support your business or career. Data or Information is Wealth – the bigger your network the more your access to data and information which could be accessible only by a few. Your professional network, especially your B-School Alumni network can help you to new opportunities and connect with people to make you professionally stronger.

So, the bottom line is that it is not just enough for us to meet and greet people, we also need to build our network brick-by-brick, or hour-by-hour in this case!

The best business leaders and institutes tend to focus on building a network as they understand the importance of your network. Many business experts agree over the fact that networking is one of the most important business skills.

Networking has huge advantages as it will comprise of mentors, advisers, peers, and other knowledgeable and important people who are working in the same domains or have insights that could help you carve your future. Interacting with new people and sharing ideas can help you change your perspectives on important issues and can help you be more career-oriented.

Benefits of Professional Networking:
- Strengthen business connections
- Get fresh ideas
- Advance your career
- Get access to new job opportunities
- Gain more knowledge
- Get the right advice and support
- Build confidence
- Gain a different perspective
- Develop long-lasting personal relationships
- Get answers to your queries
- Raise your profile
At SOIL, we have been encouraged to hone and develop this skill. We have internal and external mentors assigned to us, we get to engage with and have meaningful conversations with alumni and Industry Leaders, live projects, group study, case study and internships are part of our curriculum which enable us to connect with peers, batchmates, academic experts, subject matter leaders and more.

For the last 2 years, David Burkus – Bestselling Author & Keynote Speaker, has been studying the science of social networking and was fascinated with who he calls “super connectors”. These are the people who hold any network together: they are constantly connecting, influencing with people. They believe that money might not be constant in one’s life but the network one has made is always constant and growing.
