This banker had to change LinkedIn bio, thanks to ousted Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal

This banker shares his name with ousted Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.

The banker shared a screenshot of the data chart that shows growing interest in his profile, but probably for the wrong reasons. “After the Twitter CEO was fired, my profile views have shot up by 36 percent. So, to help folks with finding the right Parag, I have changed my profile page headline," he wrote while sharing the data.

Parag Agrawal is a banker who shares his name with the ousted Twitter CEO.

Agrawal has updated his LinkedIn bio to: “Not the CEO you are looking for". However, not everyone thinks that the spike is connected to the removal of the Twitter CEO.

“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," wrote one user.

“Parag , it took a while for your post to SINK in !Anyways you are also recognized by the title "not the CEO you are looking for"- a title you thoughtfully adopted in best interests of the LI community. You will certainly be "The CEO the world will be looking for". Best Wishes!" wrote another.

Musk said in a filing on October 31 that he will take over as the CEO of Twitter, the social media business he had purchased for $44 billion. Wall Street analysts have warned that this decision could strain the billionaire, who is also the CEO of companies like SpaceX and Tesla. Musk also runs brain-chip startup Neuralink and tunnelling firm the Boring Company.

Musk disclosed that, as a result of the takeover, he is now the only director of Twitter in a different filing.
