How do you network?
54:15
How do I network with people? There has to be common interests, right? So for example, the best way somebody can strike a conversation with me is talk about cricket or Formula One, something else.
54:26
If I have 10 people [clears throat] that I'm meeting, and one or two talk about an interest of mine, I will remember that name.

When they write me an email, I will respond.

But if somebody writes me an email saying, "Ashwin, I need a job in your company"-I'll not respond.
54:40
So the spirit of reciprocity.

58:41
Oh, wow.
