Parag Agarwal, who was the first Indian-origin CEO of Twitter, was fired by Elon Musk a year after he was appointed as the CEO of the company. This has triggered an array of reactions on social media. However, soon after his ouster, LinkedIn user named Parag Agrawal, who is a banker, shared a post saying that his profile views on the network have shot up by 36 per cent. So, to help people find the right guy, this man changed his LinkedIn bio.
Banker Parag Agarwal changed his LinkedIn bio to “Not the CEO you are looking for.” He also shared a screenshot of the analytics to show that, indeed, his profile views have gone up.
“After the Twitter CEO was fired, my profile views have shot up by 36 per cent. So to help folks with finding the right Parag, I have changed my profile page headline,” he wrote on LinkedIn.
The internet is amused by his post. “Funny. Thoughtful of you but what about the spike around sep 18? That seems even steeper and the Twitter guy wasn’t fired then. Also on my profile, views went up 67%. That being said, your name being the same as his isn’t the only factor that caused that 36% hike. LinkedIn search is better than that. I gave it a shot. I got to CEO Agrawal’s page without stopping over on any other Parag’s or Agrawal’s page. That 36% ^ is mostly your number my man. Your achievement. Keep doing what you’re doing,” a LinkedIn user wrote.

Ever since the Twitter acquisition was being discussed, rumours were rife that Parag Agrawal would be terminated as soon as Twitter goes to Elon Musk. The Tesla Chief had time and again expressed his dislike for Twitter’s management. In some of Musk’s leaked chats, he had discussed with former Twitter CEO Dorsey how he and Agrawal cannot work together.
