A man’s post on handling his visa stress has surprised and amused people. In a post, the man, Shivam, who is a partner at a company that invests in pre-seed and seed-stage startups, wittily wrote that during his moment of crisis, he was reminded that Perplexity AI’s Indian-origin CEO Aravind Srinivas was still waiting to get his green card after moving to the US and starting a company.
“Was stressing over my visa this morning, then remembered this guy still doesn’t have a Green Card lol,” Shivam wrote as he posted a photo. The picture shows him with Srinivas looking at the camera. The X post further indicates that the photograph was captured in San Francisco, California. While Shivam is seen in a black hoodie, Srinivas is seen wearing a T-shirt and a blue jacket.
Aravind Srinivas and green card:
In an earlier post, the Indian-origin CEO of Perplexity AI, Aravind Srinivas, revealed that he has been waiting for a green card for the past three years. In another post on X, he asked whether he should get a green card. His post attracted the attention of many, including the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, who replied by saying, “Yes.”

“Let's goo! You've got plenty of time to get your visa sorted out, bro,” posted an X user. Another wondered, “Is there like an Indian app that I’m not a part of where you can easily find each other? Why is Aravind Srinivas always getting papped?” A third added, “Perplexity AI can unravel the mysteries of the universe, but the US immigration system? Still a black box, even for its CEO.” A fourth wrote, “The US needs an expedited green card process for exceptional talent. This is ridiculous.”
