What we learned together on Network Capital this week?

Dear community members,

This past week Utkarsh Amitabh, the Founder and CEO of Network Capital received the India-UK Achievers Award. Along with him, there were many Network Capital members in the list of winners as well.

Launching NC Referral Programme

We grow through your love and support. Till date we haven’t spent a single dollar on sales and marketing.

Given the context, we are thrilled to launch our referral program designed to strengthen the scale and quality of the NC experience. We would love for you to invite ambitious, curious students and professionals to our community.

NC subscribers have hunger to learn and willingness to share. They are givers at heart and love adding specific value to others.

Newsletters

💌 A distributed apprenticeship - Curating our milieu is something we all do these days, if not always consciously. Our milieus are no longer determined by where we were born, but by our choices of friends and careers, and, increasingly, by how we train the algorithms that feed us content. Most of us have not yet developed the know-how to fully leverage this.

💌 Ivy-League Admissions and Making Meritocracy - The term "meritocracy" was first coined by British sociologist Michael Young in his 1958 satirical essay, "The Rise of the Meritocracy." In this essay, Young provided a dystopian glimpse into a society in which individuals are selected and promoted based solely on their intelligence and abilities, arguing that this system will lead to a new form of class-based inequality with the meritorious elite, and a non-meritorious disenfranchised lower class.
