Sikh Scientists Network is a free platform for scientists from all fields to network together, although it is specially encouraging those from Sikh religion to come together.
It is really hard to meet scientists from Sikh religion and the whole purpose of this platform is to provide a unique environment and some free unique tools for scientists to utilise. It is hoped to spark new collaborations with and among the Sikh Scientists from across the world.
Note: All scientists, engineers, students, technicians, software professionals, social scientists, charity workers and literally anyone who would like to network with scientists from any particular fields of expertise, can join this platform. 
Anyone and everyone, no matter what field of science and technology they work in (including Management, IT, Business and just about anything). Although, we are specifically encouraging Sikhs in sciences to join, but the platform is inclusive for all professionals of any faith or orientation to join and network with and among the Sikh Scientists.
This platform will give you the perks of LinkedIn for collaboration, while also providing you the dynamics of Twitter or FB feed posts, with an edge of ResearchGate for brainstorming.
In addition to this, we have 5 unique tools for you to use:
a. Free Survey designs - You can design unlimited free surveys here and disseminate it to everyone in your target audience with a simple link. You can keep monitoring the progress of results with a simple 1-click EXCEL file download, where all your results will be compiled neatly question by question.
b. Fundraisers - You can post your fundraiser links from external organisations and advertise here for free to your scientific connections. This can not only fetch you the money you require, but may also get your potential collaborators or endorsements, to say the least.
c. Opportunities - You can create posts and boost it to your network connections, so that you can recruit great talents for your lab openings, startup companies, or just to get interns or volunteers.
d. Blogs - We all like to write blogs. But no mainstream social media website allows you to do it there along with your social media profile. BUT NOW YOU CAN DO IT HERE !!.
e. Interact 1-on-1 with public - For the first-time ever, we are introducing a new feature for the scientists, who like to help the public and interact with them, but also need the safety net of diligence and comfort. This new feature allows public to ask a question directly to you, without needing to log in or invading your profile privacy. The messages goes to your outbox tab and you can directly reply from there only once.

An example of Instituional Email ID is:

Once you receive the activation link in your institutional email, you can complete the rest of the registration process AND ALSO CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ID.
You will be asked to provide your "Preferred Email", where you can use your private email IDs like gmail, hotmail, etc. This will then become your primary email ID and you will no longer require your institutional email for anything on this platform.
However, you may also choose to keep your institutional email as your preferred email and use it.
