Mr Aggarwal also shared a screenshot of a note from LinkedIn
Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal criticized LinkedIn after the employment-focused social media platform removed his post on "pronoun illness". He argued that the platform's AI moderation is "imposing a political ideology on Indian users".
"Dear LinkedIn, this post of mine was about YOUR AI imposing a political ideology on Indian users that's unsafe, and sinister. Rich of you to call my post unsafe! This is exactly why we need to build our own tech and AI in India. Else we'll just be pawns in others political objectives," Mr Aggarwal wrote in his post on X.
Mr Aggarwal also shared a screenshot of a note from LinkedIn about his viral post on gender pronouns.
The notification from LinkedIn said that his post was removed because it was against the platform's "Professional Community Policies".

He shared a screenshot of LinkedIn's AI bot which introduced him as "they" and "them" and criticised that the "pronouns illness" is "being perpetuated" in the country by municipal corporations.
