Influencer criticized for generic question to Nvidia CEO

Ishan Sharma, an Indian influencer, has stirred up controversy with a recent encounter at the Nvidia GTC exhibition. He met Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, and asked him for his "biggest advice" for aspiring entrepreneurs in AI and hardware. Huang's response was simple: "Work hard." The interaction took place in San Francisco and was shared by Sharma in an 8-second video on social media platform X. He referred to Huang as the "Taylor Swift of tech," which many viewers found cringeworthy. The video has gained over 600,000 views since it was posted. Social media reactions to Sharma's question have been largely negative. Users criticized him for not asking a more insightful or specific question. Comments included insults and mockery, calling his inquiry "generic" and expressing disappointment at the lack of depth in their exchange. Ishan Sharma is known for discussing topics like business, AI, and upskilling on his YouTube channel. He is originally from Bengaluru and has ventured into marketing. Although he enrolled in college for engineering, he left to focus on his business and online presence. Jensen Huang, on the other hand, is a well-known figure in the tech industry. As the CEO of Nvidia, he is regarded as a leading voice in the semiconductor sector.
