Networking, Not Working: The Power of Human Connection | Sandeep Israni | TEDxVishnu Institute
In today’s fast-paced world, success isn’t just about what you know—it’s about who you know and, more importantly, how you connect. Networking isn’t about exchanging business cards or transactional relationships; it’s about building meaningful, authentic connections that create opportunities, foster trust, and drive personal and professional growth. Science proves that strong networks lead to increased creativity, career success, and even better well-being. By shifting from “working the room” to truly engaging with people, we unlock the power of genuine relationships. This talk explores how human connection, not just hard work, is the key to unlocking new possibilities. Mr. Sandeep Israni is a visionary leader with over 20 years of experience in real estate sales and marketing. As a Partner at Tulip Group since April 2022, he oversees sales, marketing, and customer relations, driving transformative projects. Previously, he co-founded BrightBrain Marketing Technologies LLP in 2016, growing it into a 55+ employee digital marketing agency. As Business Head, he enhanced sales efficiency and brand presence. Passionate about education, he serves as a Visiting Professor at SCMHRD and Xavier’s Institute of Business Management Studies, inspiring future leaders to think innovatively. For Sandeep, success is about setting trends and creating lasting impacts. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
