LinkedIn appoints Kumaresh Pattabiraman as Product Head

New Delhi: Microsoft-owned professional networking platform LinkedIn on Friday announced it has appointed Kumaresh Pattabiraman as new Country Manager and Product Head in India.

With over 135 million members, India stands as LinkedIn's second-largest and fastest-growing market.

In a post, Pattabiraman said that LinkedIn has evolved from being just a jobs platform to becoming a dynamic global community where professionals connect for jobs, learning, networking, and knowledge sharing.

“Having started my career as an engineer in Bengaluru and built teams in India across LinkedIn and Microsoft, I can say that the energy, ambition, and potential of Indian talent, especially in R&D, are unparalleled,” he wrote.

India is among the top five countries with the fastest-growing AI talent and has the highest AI skill penetration globally, and LinkedIn members are using AI skills 3 times more frequently than the global average.
