Ola’s CEO Bhavish Aggarwal took to X, which used to be called Twitter, to express his disapproval after LinkedIn deleted his post. In his post, he talked about gender pronouns and criticized LinkedIn’s AI for pushing what he sees as a “political ideology” on Indian users. But LinkedIn removed it quickly.
This time, he talked about pronouns, as LinkedIn’s AI called him “they” instead of “he.” Aggarwal wasn’t happy and spoke up about it on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn Deletes Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal’s Post on Pronoun Dispute
Recently, Ola’s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, got into a fuss with LinkedIn. It all began when LinkedIn’s AI called him “they” instead of “he.” Aggarwal didn’t like that and talked about it on LinkedIn, but his post got deleted. He did not give up; he posted about it again, calling it a “pronoun illness,” but LinkedIn deleted that too. Luckily, his team took a screenshot.
Dear @LinkedIn you deleted my post again! This time you didn’t even notify me or leave a trace since you removed the whole thread. Luckily my team takes screenshots 😉
You can delete this one too but you can’t remove my opinion. Since you’re owned by @Microsoft, I will be… pic.twitter.com/z4S93WVWFq

Aggarwal wasn’t happy about the deletions and complained directly to LinkedIn, saying they didn’t even tell him they were deleting his posts. He’s not letting it go and plans to talk about it more. He thinks LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, is trying to control what people say and do in India.
Twitter Reacts to LinkedIn Controversy
People on Twitter are talking about what happened with Bhavish Aggarwal and LinkedIn. One person thinks this could be a chance to make a new LinkedIn just for India. Another person finds it surprising that LinkedIn can’t handle criticism. Someone else thinks Aggarwal should do something big, like delete his LinkedIn account, to show LinkedIn that they can’t do whatever they want. This whole thing shows how important online platforms are in shaping what people talk about, and it’s tough when those platforms stop people from speaking up, especially when they’re criticizing them.
Aggarwal’s Push for Indian Technology
Bhavish Aggarwal, the head of Ola, really wants India to have its own technology. Last year, his company, Ola, made its own AI platform called Krutrim. He wants it to be as good as the big global tech companies like Microsoft and Google. He’s determined to show that India can do things just as well or even better.
