Scholars have highlighted the significance of a diverse group on i ndivi dual ’s pe rformance and have argued in favor of diversity within a group, institution or organization. However, the impact of diversity within one’s networks has not bee n ex pl ored. Eve n within a diverse group, a student might approach someone coming from similar background. The present study attempted to explore, in the context of Indian management education, how does diversity within one’s networks impacts student’s academic performance. For the study, 107 students from one of the toptier and oldest institutes of management in India were selected. Their network, and diversity within their networks was mapped and calculated. The findings hinted that diversity within networks might not always result in a positive outcome.
