Indian Gen Z knows networking matters — so why is everyone avoiding it?
- LinkedIn says 83% of Gen Z professionals in India are not networking despite recognising its career value.
- 79% understand the importance of professional relationships, but 52% say they don’t know how to start building them.
- Fear is a major barrier, with 44% worried about being judged, 39% about bothering people and 37% about seeming inauthentic.
- The gap could cost opportunities: Indian applicants with an inside connection are nearly 8.5 times more likely to get hired, LinkedIn says.
