How a Shy Student Built 22,000 Followers | Gayatri G

Your LinkedIn story starts today.
In this episode, Gayatri G — a shy, introverted student who once missed events because she had no one to go with — breaks down how she built 22,000 followers and real confidence as a tier-3 college student.

We explore the loneliness behind the tags, the courage to attend events alone, the decision to invest ₹2,000 in her first workshop, and how a single moment changed the trajectory of her life.

This conversation is not just about LinkedIn…
It’s about identity, opportunity, self-worth, and what it actually takes to show up when no one believes in you yet.

If you’re a student who feels behind, scared to post, or unsure where to start — this episode is for you.

Watch it fully. Your future self will thank you.
