How competitive must one be to plan for their child’s future career when the little one’s age is still in the single digits?
Sivesh Kumar, an entrepreneur based in Delhi, India, has received plenty of attention online after creating a LinkedIn profile for his son, Tiger.
The toddler turned two last week.
Sivesh, who is the co-founder and chief operating officer of coffee brand, Coffea, penned a post from his young son’s perspective.
He wrote: “I turned two today and already started to feel the pressure of the world. With all the talks at home to get me into school.”
The post then explains that Sivesh’s friend has a belief where “network is net worth”. Adopting his friend’s motto, he created a profile for Tiger to network, so the little one can “get into a good pre-school” and “take one step at a time” moving forward.
“I am trying to stay away from social media (as nobody gives me the phone at home), but still for my career, I will try to log in once a week. Looking for all the help,” read the post.
A number of Tiger’s connections responded to the post, wishing him the best for his future. One added that the post was “so inspiring”.
Tiger was last reported to have 383 connections on the platform, but the profile has since been removed due to age restrictions.
Netizens were shocked to find out about Tiger’s profile, with many in disbelief that the kid had more connections than them.
“Bro is on the LinkedIn grind,” wrote one netizen, while another added: “Now employers are going to ask for 20 years of experience.”
Some were also concerned that creating a LinkedIn page for one’s young child “could become the norm in the future”.
Another netizen suggested that it could have been a “crazy marketing strategy” for Sivesh’s brand. And by the looks of it, the strategy worked.
