Cuttack: Professional networking site LinkedIn has named Odisha’s Sindhu Biswal, Head of Growth at matrimony app Betterhalf.ai, among ‘five creators to follow’.
Daniel Roth, Editor-in-Chief and VP at LinkedIn, announced the names three days ago.
After having worked at several startups, Biswal has been actively guiding new founders on how to start a startup and how to grow such businesses.
“From last year, I have been doing a lot of videos as part of a series on how to start a startup and how to grow a startup. I made one video on LinkedIn about the top things first-time founders should care about,” he told a news portal.
“That video got a lot of traction from founders and entrepreneurs and was picked up by LinkedIn’s VP and that’s how I got featured in their ‘Creator’ programme. There’s no one from Odisha’s startup community, if there is one, on the list. I was surprised and thanked LinkedIn,” he told the news portal.
