Why should you make videos on LinkedIn?

I had soo many questions!

So I sat down with Jessica Jensen, the Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer of LinkedIn  to ask them all at the LinkedIn Bengaluru office.

First of all, this is the first office which had pop music running all the time, loved the vibe of the whole space and the lunch menu was exquisite. I ate too much

But most importantly, We shot a really interesting podcast on:

1. The right way to optimise your LinkedIn profile
2. View Services button on LinkedIn and how to use it as a freelancer/contractor
3. Why you should create videos on LinkedIn
4. How to be authentic with your content
5. How to market yourself as a business on LinkedIn
6. Influencer marketing on LinkedIn

And more!

My first freelancing gig
My first internship offer
The people I’ve hired
My first book :)
My first paid public speaking event
LinkedIn is the one platform which has given me soo much in the last 5 years.

Be it looking for that next job, career switch, freelance clients, personal branding, marketing your company, LinkedIn has something for you.

Did you watch the Elon Musk & Nikhil Kamath podcast?

Pretty crazy how you can turn a 2hr long podcast into infographics, slide deck, video and audio summaries, flash cards, and min maps!

All within NotebookLM, a free AI tool by Google.

Insane value.

I tried chatgpt first in dec 2022.

This moment changed everything!

Since then, the ONLY habit I’ve stuck with is using AI. 80% of my work today is supercharged with AI.

AI tools are enabling ANYONE to build real world apps, slides, images and videos. What once was only built by the pros, is now just a single prompt away.

Today, Your Idea is what matters.

Nano Banana Pro, Replit, Apollo AI, NotebookLM, ChatGPT Atlas, ElevenLabs, Gamma will do the rest.

Nandini and I have been using these tools extensively and realised how effective AI is at giving equal access to everyone to build and launch ideas overnight.

💡To promote this culture,  we are hosting Bengaluru AI Hack Day on 13th December, 2025.

A FREE full day hackathon to build with AI, to network and win prizes like MacBook Air, Mac Mini, PlayStation5 and more!🤯

There are 2 tracks:
1. Vibe Code a Website

The themes will be revealed at the venue.

Sign up now: https://luma.com/7uv6t3hg 

You’ll also learn more about using AI from speakers like Harish, Saptarshi Prakash, Mehul and more.

Thanks to Polaris School of Technology for providing the venue.

Tanish Agarwal

For 25 years, my dad has been running our spice business in Jaipur.

I’ve grown up watching him do everything with nothing but experience, instinct, and an unbelievable amount of hard work.
No branding, no social media 
No “founder era”.
Just pure legacy.

And now, I’m finally stepping in.
Not to change what he built… but to take it forward in my own way.
That’s how JaiPure is starting.

Same quality.
Same values.
Just a little bit of my world added to it:

✨ Better packaging
✨ Clearer storytelling
✨ Digital presence
✨ A brand Jaipur can be proud of
✨ And flavours that feel like home

I’m not creating something new.
I’m simply adding my chapter to his.
This is the soft launch of JaiPure.
A blend of old-school trust and new-age clarity.

A legacy, improvised, not replaced.
More coming soon.

Why Public Speaking? If you're in Business

Business doesn’t grow just because of products or plans.
It grows because people understand you, trust you, and remember you.
That only happens when you communicate well.

Good public speaking isn’t about fancy words.
It’s about talking in a way that makes people feel clear, calm and connected to what you’re saying.

When you speak well:
• People listen
• People understand faster
• Decisions move quicker
• Relationships get stronger

And this doesn’t only apply to LinkedIn.
Because in business and online, people don’t follow the loudest person.
You don’t need big words or perfection.

The idea of being an entrepreneur feels grand, liberating even. 

It’s this idea in your head that you could make it on your own, if you leapt, dived in and tried. It’s this quest for a bigger, better life. To do life on your terms, to build something for yourself.

For the longest time, I thought I was less because I hadn’t made any steps towards my ‘dream’. I’d beat myself up most days about the life I wish I had.

Wasted a lot of time between 22–25, thinking my life was a total mess.

Seriously, I would spend most weekends wishing I had a business that I could call my own. I’d go on a walk, listening to podcasts about successful people, demanding to know why I haven’t made any progress in my own life.

I would spend my time thinking, ‘I could do that, but I never did anything about it. I told myself I was broken, that I was a failure, and that, in a nutshell, I’d need to do a total over to regain any ounce of pride.

Somewhere along the way, I realised I wasn’t broken, I was just bad at committing to a new habit. Mostly because everything I tried to start, I had no interest in.

Nikhil's latest podcast with Elon Musk has broken the internet.
I thought success was about working hard, earning more, and collecting titles.

But the truth is simple:
The biggest unlock isn’t money, it’s people.

Some people grow not because they’re smarter or more skilled
But because they sit in rooms where the conversations are different.
I was reminded of this while listening to  Kamath’s latest podcast with Elon. 

Two things hit me:

1. Access > money
Elon spoke about a future where work becomes optional in less than 20 years.
AI and robotics will do almost everything.

When that happens, money won’t be the most valuable thing anymore.
Access, energy, ideas, and creativity will matter more.

2. The room shapes you
Nikhil isn’t just building companies; he’s building rooms filled with thinkers, founders, and people who stretch his ambition.
That’s leverage you can’t buy.

And I started thinking about my own life:
Whom am I learning from?
Who challenges how I think?

Because the truth is simple:
Your network builds your future long before your net worth ever shows it.
Once you see that, you play a different game.
