Soon after Agarwal’s appointment, India across the globe came together to share their congratulatory messages for his achievement at a young age. An alumnus of India’ premier engineering college IIT Bombay and the Sandford University, Agarwal had joined Twitter back in 2011 and exactly a decade later he was chosen as Jack’s replacement.
Amidst the flood of congratulatory posts for Agarwal, netizens got in action mode to share their hilarious reaction through memes and jokes.
