Deepak Agarwal has joined back LinkedIn as its chief AI officer, marking his second stint with the professional networking platform. 

“I am thrilled to share that I’m joining LinkedIn as the company’s chief AI officer. This is my second stint leading AI at LinkedIn, with my last tour being VP of AI for 8 years where our team developed remarkable innovations at massive scale that serve as the foundation for much of the company’s AI efforts today,” Agarwal said in a LinkedIn post.

With over 24 years of experience, his AI roles span across companies like Pinterest and Yahoo.

Previously, Agarwal served at LinkedIn for around 8 years as VP of engineering and artificial intelligence.

This development comes a week after the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) issued an advisory urging LinkedIn influencers to abide by the norms requiring disclosure of material connections with brands, services or advertisers they promote.

It is pertinent to note that unlike other social media platforms, LinkedIn does not provide platform disclosure tools. In such a case, the influencers themselves have to display the permitted disclosure terms like “Ad” or “partnership” among others.

LinkedIn has been home to one of the largest job seeking portals. With the space to share knowledge, work updates, job history, take up courses, keep up with daily news and newsletters and make official announcements, where the platform has expanded to more than just seeking jobs, backed by the strong user engagement.

In July, last year,  the platform even rolled out its video offering in India, to tap into the growing opportunity in the short-form video market.

Many companies have seen some key appointments in the recent past.

For instance IndiaMART InterMESH Limited roped in serial entrepreneur Manish Vij as an independent director and also elevated its legal head Manoj Bhargava to a full-time director role. 

Similarly IPO-bound B2B marketplace Zetwerk appointed manufacturing industry veteran Vadim Yakubov as the CEO of its US subsidiary Unimacts in a bid to double down on its US market expansion.
