India has risen to the power and energy of Speed Networking

Online, January 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - New Delhi, Gurgaon.
The Speed Networking Phenomenon has caught up with businesses and professionals in India and if you go by the waves it is picking up like a storm; the exercise which has become a mainstay in the west seems here to stay too. There are many professionals from a cross section of occupation and industry who are moving into speed networking to give them that 'effectiveness' as opposed to the clutter of phone and emails that seem to have become irrelevant if you really don't know the person.

Speed Networking like an ice breaker seems to be really the thing that will stay and become a norm for a lot of professionals and businesses with the way it is formatted. In speed networking you actually meet face to face the person who would or could or possibly is your contact or opportunity with whom you can then follow up with through emails or on the phone. This really makes sense and somehow if you look back on years this was really how cemented relationships were forged.

Speed Networking India at (http://www.speednetworkingindia.blogspot.com) is one of those community organisations that have informally been around for a while among a close knit network of people who came through friends, friends' friends and in that fashion to now organising a pan India speed networking community that gives just the opportunity through the exercise to a larger community. Attendees of these events have come back 'happier' as it is not only fun, it is fast and it is effective. The exercise hones your elevator pitch, your social skills, and your mind for time; and the biggest asset ofcourse - your communication skills.

Speed Networking India has recently launched their blog and is reaching out to a larger community to participate in this fun yet effective professional and business tool for networking. They have their first series public events on the 6th of February 2010 at the following locations - Gurgaon, Noida and New Delhi. It is for anybody really who is looking to further their professional and business opportunity; so you could be a student, a professional or a business.

The events are weekly and some monthly across India and, the easy part is they have a calendar and the schedule of events on their blog and a weather widget that gives you the weather conditions in that city or town. These events are normally conducted in the afternoons followed by high tea or evenings followed by a social process over dinner or cocktail.

They presently participate in the following cities and towns - Gurgaon, New Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Goa, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Patna, Kolkotta, Pune, Hyderabad, Indore, Jamshedpur and Nashik - but then if you do not have one in your city or town and if you are interested in moderating an event there, all you have to do is recommend the city or town and Speed Networking India promotes and organises it there on your behalf for you.

People often ask why they should be at a speed networking event. The reasons are pretty simple and beneficial for - First, without a doubt you will meet more people in a short time span than ever before. Second, all those who participate are like you in that they have invested their time and energy to build their network. Third practise educating and conversing and learn about what each new connection as both an individual and professional for this is the corner stone of future opportunity. Fourth and most important - follow up is the key. Speed-networking delivers high volume and quality connections, but you must follow up and begin to cultivate the relationships. The initial interaction is only the starting point for each of your new potential relationships.

Consider all the new people you can now help by knowing what they do and in turn who can help you! Imagine attending even one speed networking event per month, you will more than likely meet over 600 new people throughout the year. And, if you do it right, you can leave a lasting impression making sure those 600 people in your community remember you.
