Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal shows his disagreement with using a Western-style pronoun system. It is a part of the English grammar system as per many speakers. Under this, words like she, he, or they are used which allows an individual to clear his specifications and how he likes to be called. Thus, LinkedIn gives this special feature where users can write their pronouns below their name on their profile.

As per LinkedIn, the feature is necessary to reduce the guilt and hurt that an individual faces if their right gender identification does not call them. It especially happens with the LBBTQ community. Many people are born with a gender that they are not willing to be recognized with. OLA CEO Bhavish Aggarwal often speaks against the use of gender pronouns. He mentions that the usage of gender pronouns should not reach India. It is an illness that should be limited to Western countries only.

He wrote a post on pronoun illness speaking about the usage of pronouns. He explained in detail about his concerns. However, LinkedIn deletes his posts twice. Bhavish Aggarwal says that Western companies are bullying Indians to agree with their work culture. He mentions that AI moderation is imposing a political ideology on Indian users. Bhavish Aggarwal says that Linked’s AI calls his posts unsafe and against their community guidelines.

He further mentions that this is the reason why he wants to have India’s own DPI social media framework. This can only protect Indians from being the prey of the Western system. Otherwise, we all have to follow our country’s Western cultures and rules. Ola CEO further announces that OLA will stop using Linkedin’s parent company, Microsoft’s Azure services.
