What her students say about her sessions?​
"It was a really helpful program. It’s one of those situations where someone can either provide you with fish or teach you how to fish. This program taught me how to harness my potential and use LinkedIn in my favor. I may not have gotten a job yet but at least I am sure if I continue doing what was taught to me I will get one soon. A heartfelt thank you to Nidhi whose primary focus was not only to make us understand how to go about the whole process but also to make us feel confident enough to say we will continue the process even after the course. She never cared for the time, even if we were exceeding the set time she made sure all the questions were answered and problems solved before finishing the session."- Lausonia Ramaswamy, M.Tech, IIT Bombay.​​
"It is a great initiative to help understand the importance of networking especially through online platforms like linkedin to achieve success in finding our desired job in lifesciences. Dr Nidhi is truly passionate and extremely helpful in clearing all doubts."- KT Smitha, Early Career Professional.
