Mr Johnson's post quickly gained traction online, with many users expressing excitement over his trip to India. Some also offered to accompany him during his India visit and show him around.
"You cannot leave bangalore without meeting us. There is a lot we are doing at @Rainmatterin to make Indians healthy @Nithin0dha. Come we will host you," wrote entrepreneur Dilip Kumar.
"Hey Bryan, we're doing some super cool research on aging at Longevity India. @Longevity_IISc We'd love to have you visit us at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore!" commented another user.

Meanwhile, Mr Johnson, a former Silicon Valley executive, is known for his obsession with anti-ageing. He spends $2 million a year on medical diagnostics and treatments combined with a meticulously crafted regimen of eating, sleeping, and exercising to see if he can slow, and perhaps even reverse, the ageing process.
The tech millionaire founded "Don't Die" community to "defeat all causes of human and planetary death and promote prosperity".
"We want the choice of continued life or death; To boldly explore the future; For earth to be a sustainable planet for those who choose life, And to secure the future of human existence with the rise of artificial intelligence," the official site reads.
