This read changed my perspective on networking — interesting and actionable.

The three pillars — environments >>> events, actions >>> meetings and giving them value on which you build the base of networking, are something I'll be looking at and acting upon from now on.

Thanks, Udayan, for writing on 'networking is a scam' unless we know the right way to do it and where our purpose aligns with what the community wants to deliver.

PS: loved the line 'find places where the default behaviours match my aspirations!'

Hi Udayan, Abhishek here.

It’s always refreshing to read your mails. Right now, I’m working as a creative lead and slowly transitioning into growth, learning a lot along the way. I may not be the best fit for the community just yet, but someday I hope to sit across the same table with you, discussing the big things or maybe even the small things that end up moving big needles.

great read, thanks for writing<3

Very actionable. Thanks for sharing! This is exactly the issue with conferences. I started a community for builders in Paris because I was frustrated with conferences. All talk, zero action.

We have successfully hosted 3 building sessions and one hackathon. I saw the magic happen.
