It was enjoyable to spend 70 minutes discussing tech, education & policy issues without a whiff of party politics coming in! Am told we had 18,800 listening at one point.

I joined Writing Cohort I (and then Writing Cohort III) with a clear purpose: hone my writing for storytelling. I’ve got solid command of the fundamentals of English. My challenge has been writing to persuade. The pros: great structure and flow, clear weekly targets, public sharing (built my confidence). The cons: super-intensive (I had to participate in 2 cohorts to become confident to pitch), talented competition (pushed me to work harder).

As a member of the diaspora living abroad, I long for communities that feel like home. Network Capital is that community for me. For the last several years, it has been the space where I feel connected, cared and respected. It's also the only community that has allowed me to stay fresh on emerging India. Simply put, Network Capital has been home away from home in some sense, providing valuable moments for me to feel belonged and heard. For the diaspora living abroad, there is no better community in my opinion.

Get the right guidance & support to make your next ‘big’ professional move

Network capital is taking community based learning to another level. The content, hands-on real life experiences along with access to outstanding leaders, community and courses help people in building their Relevance Quotient (RQ). Staying relevant is not a one time job and it is a constant effort on a daily basis and NC helps millions of people stay relevant.

Network Capital has been an amazing community for me, - the only one of its kind whose members contribute so unselfishly and are happy to "pay it forward". I've benefited from advice and information shared on NC personally, and my company Rocket Learning has partnered with NC to hire some great leaders and spread the word about our work. I know from my work that creating an active, engaged group without any monetary incentives is the hardest thing you can imagine - NC has made it happen with great care, love and generosity.

One of my favourite community learning platforms - Network Capital. It has some great initiatives (podcasts, fellowships, P2P learning fora etc.) in addressing some of these skilling gaps. More power to community learning!
Pranjal Begwani
Your work is an embodiment of who you are as an individual - empowering, maximizing, and a strong voice of reason. Thank you for bringing us together as one big amazing community!

The last six months have been extremely exhausting with the whole process of preparing my application for studying abroad. I have been your Facebook friend for quite some time now and I genuinely feel inspired looking at your journey. When I reached out to you in December 2021, I was very confused with all the different kinds of reviews that I received from multiple people on my essays for Columbia Journalism School. Not only did you respond to me in distress, but you directed me to become a part of the fantastic Network Capital community.

The 'MBA and Master's Applications Bootcamp' on Network Capital really helped me narrow down on which aspects of my life I wanted to highlight for the admissions committee at Columbia. The way you structured the sessions and broke it down to simply putting across a story or extraordinary achievements made my anxiety go way down and gave me a lot of confidence in my application. 

I would also like to highlight your objective opinion about everything. For instance, if you didn't like anything in the application, which you felt was not making the case stronger, you were invested enough in the whole process to put it across. I was working on the essays since September 2021 but I would like to share that I re-did my essays completely after going through the boot camp sessions and discussing with you during NC office hours. 

I cannot thank you enough for all the efforts and time you invested in my application, which eventually resulted in my acceptance to Columbia. Moreover, you instilled a lot of confidence in me by just being YOU. I would also like to appreciate Varya for being there every hour, be it midnight or early morning. If there was even the slightest of issue that I faced, she was always hands-on to address it as soon as possible.

Thank you very much, Utkarsh and Varya. I hope to receive your continued guidance and give back to NC in some way.
