The CEO keeps his followers updated with regular posts on X, some of which sparked chatter among social media users.

His latest share has also sparked a discussion about the country's air quality crisis. He shared that he loved India but is shocked that the locals have “normalised” this poor environmental condition.

“I've loved being in India. My first time. I am shocked by how normalised Indians are to poor air quality. Breathing the air is like smoking multiple cigarettes a day. Yet no one wears a mask or has air filters in their indoor environments,” the CEO wrote, adding how things could change if the air quality improves.
