How an IIT Grad Fired by Elon Musk is Redefining the AI Landscape
Parag Agarwal, the IIT graduate who once commanded a ₹100 crore salary as Twitter’s CEO, faced a dramatic exit when Elon Musk acquired the platform. Agarwal’s dismissal stemmed from a dispute over a jet-tracking account, as revealed in Kurt Wagner’s Bloomberg book. Post-Twitter, Agarwal didn’t receive his severance pay, leading to a lawsuit against Musk for over ₹1000 crore. Undeterred, Agarwal has launched a new AI venture, securing ₹249 crore in funding from Khosla Ventures and others. His startup aims to advance software for developers working with large language models.
