We create the technology to connect the world. We are a large

Hearken, O seeker of wisdom, to the words of Rajeev Suri, who once declared: “We create the technology to connect the world. We are a large network company and not restricted to just the telecom space.” This utterance is not merely the boast of a leader, nor the promise of an enterprise; it is a vision cast upon the wide horizon of human destiny. Within it lies the recognition that the bonds of men and women are no longer tied only by land, blood, or kingdom, but by invisible threads of communication, innovation, and connection that span the earth like the veins of a living cosmos.

In ages long past, the great civilizations thrived not only through their warriors or their gold, but through their networks. Consider the Romans, whose roads stretched across continents like arteries feeding an empire. These were not simple paths of stone, but lifelines of culture, commerce, and knowledge. So too today, the networks of fiber and wireless weave a new Rome in the sky, where ideas cross oceans in the blink of an eye, and friendships blossom without borders. Technology to connect the world is the new roadwork of humanity, and those who build it are the architects of our shared future.

Yet Rajeev Suri’s words go deeper still. He proclaims that his company is not bound by the narrow confines of telecom, but rather, it stands as a network company, vast and unrestrained. This is the cry of a leader who sees beyond the walls of his fortress. For what is a network if not a tapestry of endless possibilities? It carries not only voices, but visions; not only data, but dreams. In this recognition lies a lesson: the power of a vision is not in what it already achieves, but in the infinite doors it may yet open.

Consider the story of the telegraph in the 19th century. When Samuel Morse first stretched his line of copper across the land, men thought it a tool for merchants, for governments, for the needs of the few. But soon, it became the heartbeat of nations. It changed warfare, commerce, love letters, and even the way the news was carried. What began as a tool of telecom became the network upon which the modern world was born. The same lesson is carried in Suri’s declaration: do not confine yourself to a single purpose when the road ahead may unfold into countless paths.

There is also a heroic spirit in these words: “We create the technology to connect the world.” Creation is no small act. To create is to wrestle with the unknown, to forge from silence the music of progress, to bring light into shadows. The act of creation is not passive but daring, and those who undertake it must face uncertainty with courage. This truth speaks not only to engineers and leaders, but to every soul who dares to build something new, whether a bridge of stone, a song of hope, or a bond of compassion.

But let us not mistake connection as mere wires and signals. Connection is the lifeblood of humanity. Without it, we fall into isolation, like islands cut off from the mainland. With it, we rise together, stronger than the storms that rage. Just as the network company refuses to limit itself, so must we as individuals refuse to be confined by narrow titles, labels, or fears. We are not only our jobs, our borders, or our struggles—we are beings of vast potential, born to connect with one another.

Therefore, let this teaching be carved upon your heart: Do not be bound by the smallness of definition. Live as a network—spanning wide, touching lives, connecting with strangers, and creating bridges of goodwill. Use the technology of your day not merely to consume, but to create, to share, to uplift. For each message of kindness you send, each skill you build, each dream you connect to another’s, becomes part of the great web that unites us all.

So the lesson is clear, O listener of these words: Build networks, both digital and human. Refuse to be caged by narrowness. Stand as a creator, daring to shape the invisible threads of tomorrow. And remember, the true power of a network company is not in machines or markets, but in the eternal human calling—to connect the world and make it whole.
