Delhi entrepreneur's 2-year-old son joins LinkedIn to ‘find his place in this world’
Screenshots of the profile dedicated to a two-year-old have made their way onto X. Most people have criticised the kid’s parents for this move.
A LinkedIn post has created chatter among social media users. What has surprised people is not what is written on the post but the person the profile belongs to. According to the platform, it is dedicated to a two-year-old.
“I turned two today and already started to feel the pressure of this world. With all the talks at home to get me into school. Hmm, the pressure is real and me ‘nanhi si jaan'. My father Sivesh Kumar's friend Praveen Kumar Rajbhar always says that ‘Network is Networth’, so I am here to network which will help me (to start with) get into a good pre-school. And further will take one step at a time. I am trying to stay away from Social Media ( as nobody gives me the phone at home), but still for my career will try to log in once a week. Looking for all the help,” reads the post shared on the toddler's LinkedIn profile.

His father, a Delhi-based entrepreneur, reposted the share and wrote, “My son is here to rule the world. I don’t know how he will turn around, but he will be more passionate, hardworking, and brutal than me. Elon, your competitor just got on LinkedIn… And it is his birthday… Happy Birthday kiddo… If any day you need to fall back, you baba is here… Just take action and analyse outcome.”
Screenshots of the LinkedIn profile soon made their way onto X and captured people’s attention. A profile on a professional site for a two-year-old didn’t sit quite well with the social media users, and they didn’t hold back while expressing their opinions.
