We're excited to invite you to register for our next in-person event to be held at JLR's Design Studio, near Liverpool St, London.
In addition to our usual informal networking event, we will be launching the PPN's Mentoring Programme which will connect Mentors with Mentees, and allow for those early in their careers to interact with leaders across a variety of fields: from advice on accelerating up the career ladder to joining the C-suite or transitioning to a NED. This is an optional service brought to you by PPN to mark our 5th anniversary - applying to join the programme is not compulsory.
The PPN's objective has always been to connect Punjabis and gain invaluable access to professionals in a relaxed and informal environment. The PPN's Mentoring Programme will enable you to join as either a Mentor, or Mentee, should you decide to join (application form below).
Applying to join as a Mentor:
Please use the link below to describe how you would be able to support, highlighting relevant experiences and topics you would like to be matched with. We encourage Mentors to commit to meeting their mentee(s) a minimum of twice a year - hopefully more if this works for you both.
Applying to join as a Mentee:
Please be as specific as possible in the topics you would like to be mentored in. For example, industry insights, a specific career move, or something else. The more specific you can be, the greater chance of being matched with someone who can ideally provide you with specific guidance and advice. (Top tip - have a look at the bios of some of the founding members to see their backgrounds). If you'd prefer just to be introduced with a member in the network for some one-off advice/without an ongoing mentoring relationship, please state that too.
Process
On Saturday 9th May, the Mentors and Mentees will have the opportunity to meet for the first time and get to know each other! We will match individuals based on relevance, availability, and industry experience. We hope this programme makes Mentees feel more confident in their careers while Mentors can give back to the network.
Timings for Saturday 9th May 2026
2.00pm - Doors open
2.30pm to 3.30pm - Launch of the PPN Mentoring Programme with Q&A
3.30pm to 5.00pm - Networking and close
To increase your chances of being matched with the perfect mentor, with the experience and availability, please ensure you register as early as possible!
We hope to see you there! This is our 5th PPN event, so let's make it a special one!
