Part 2 of my conversation with Dhairya Gangwani , from my visit to India a few weeks ago. Enjoyed sharing my thoughts on both my own career as well as how AI is changing the game on leadership and work.

13+ years at LinkedIn. 8 different roles!
A career that has been anything but linear.
Archana Sekhar's journey is a reminder that growth doesn’t always require changing companies. Sometimes, it comes from continuously reinventing yourself within one.
In Part 2 of our conversation, we discuss the human skills that will matter even more in the AI era, the career rule she would rewrite for professionals in India, and lessons from her unconventional journey.
Because in a world powered by AI, our most human skills may become our greatest advantage.

Enjoyed chatting with Varun Mayya about LinkedIn and my career journey over a whiteboard. We wound up talking about mistakes, lucky breaks, and what I'd do differently if I were starting out in 2026. Thanks for the conversation Varun!

I asked the CEO of LinkedIn which jobs people are actually getting hired for right now, and what he would do if he was 22 in India today. I also got him to reverse engineer his entire career on a whiteboard, from three failed startups to becoming CEO. Nobody sees more hiring data than him, and we get into what you should actually be doing for your career, and why every job done the old way is fading.

Incredible week in India with our team, customers, and creators. The economy is growing fast, the talent is incredible, and the culture of warmth was present in every moment. I'm excited for the opportunity ahead, and thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable trip.

I learned a new word from our LinkedIn India team in Bengaluru this week --> jugaad. It's defined as... a flexible approach to problem-solving and innovation that uses limited, basic resources in a clever, unconventional way.
Ex. When I was staffing a media interview that went off track, I used quick thinking and humor to create a jugaad that got it back on track.
How great is that? I invite you to put it to use.
Hat tip to Kumaresh Pattabiraman, the stellar LinkedIn India team and the great comms crew for the new word and a super productive few days of listening and learning.like 190love 35celebrate 9insightful 2funny 2support 2
