Some users raised concerns about Krishnan’s ties to the Indian government and his previous work at companies with controversial policies.
Grimes’ statement serves as a reminder of the diversity and complexity of backgrounds within the tech industry, and highlights the importance of embracing different perspectives and experiences.
