Ola Cabs CEO Bhavish Aggarwal, in a recent interview with ANI, lashed out against 'wokeism' and said that all the big tech companies have become their own "sovereigns" and are setting the rules of the world in their own mind.
"...all these big tech companies and I don't mind saying the names, Microsoft, Google, any of these, Meta, you know, they are setting the rules of the world in their own mind," Aggarwal said.
He recalled the incident, which took place in May this year when Satya Nadella-led Microsoft-owned LinkedIn deleted Aggarwal's post when he spoke about "pronoun illness" when LinkedIn referred to him as 'they' on the platform.
"And I don't know when they moved from gender to pronouns, whereas I'm a man. I mean, I want to be referred to myself as a "he", but I don't want to set my pronouns because they're forcing me to engage with this political philosophy of wokeism by making it sort of mandatory," he said.
