Ishan Sharma, an Indian influencer who became embroiled in controversy for labelling New York's tipping culture a ‘scam,’ is making headlines again due to a recent video of his interaction with Jensen Huang. People are irked by the question he asked the CEO at Nvidia GTC exhibits.
“Just met the Taylor Swift of tech!” Sharma wrote as he shared a short video. In the clip, Sharma says, “I want to ask you what is your biggest advice to people who want to build a startup or do something in the space of AI and hardware?” Huang simply replies, “Work hard.”
