Tushar Mehta
Marketer at ShopOS
Directing professional networking away from LinkedIn toward more authentic platforms like Twitter and personal domains.
Intro
I'm Tushar Mehta, currently a marketer at ShopOS. I’ve built my professional identity around the idea that who you are online should actually match who you are in real life. I’m pretty vocal about my skepticism toward the performative nature of platforms like LinkedIn—I think if you don't have a Twitter or a personal website, you're hiding the most important parts of your professional self. I’m here to offer a filter for authenticity and a pragmatic way to vet the people you work with. I’m looking for genuine debate and real opinions, not the generic 'great initiative' fluff you see everywhere else. If you want to connect, let's skip the corporate-speak and get into the real stuff on platforms that actually matter.

Opinions
- LinkedIn is a platform for virtue signaling and curated self-promotion.
- The absence of a Twitter account or personal website is a professional red flag.
- Generic professional comments like 'Great initiative!' are for bots without real opinions.
