Indian-origin executive Sriram Krishnan to advise Elon Musk

San Francisco: Indian-origin executive Sriram Krishnan is likely to advise Elon Musk on running Twitter. He is a former Twitter employee and current general partner at the venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.

After completing the $44 billion deal, Musk is expected to appoint a new leadership. He is meeting with close friends and advisors on how to modify the platform. Sources close to Twitter say the most senior product executives are not likely to stay in the company. Nick Caldwell (Twitter's head of engineering) and Jay Sullivan (general manager for both consumer and revenue product) are likely to exit as they edited their Twitter bios.

Sriram Krishnan is among the people Musk has been meeting within the first few days of his ownership. He said he is temporarily helping out Musk along with some other great people. "I believe this is a hugely important company and can have a great impact on the world and Elon is the person to make it happen," he tweeted. He also met with David Sacks and Jason Calacanis. Sources say they have been discussing product strategy. Some suspect that Musk wants to bring back Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter's former head of product, who was fired in May 2022.
