Gaurav Taneja's changed LinkedIn bio of calling himself 

A user on LinkedIn noticed how Gaurav Taneja changed his bio to Anupam Mittal's words, 'Good influencer, terrible entrepreneur'. The post further called Gaurav a marketing genius, but netizens who have been following Gaurav since the beginning called him a terrible influencer. The said post can be read as:

"Gaurav Taneja went to Shark Tank. Anupam Mittal called him a good influencer and a terrible entrepreneur. He comes back and owns the title. Marketing genius!"

Soon, netizens shared their opinion and how Gaurav used his children for content. One user wrote, "If someone is using their 1-year-old child just to gain views on their low-quality content, I personally don't consider that to fall under the umbrella of being an influencer. No offence intended, just sharing my perspective."

Another one recalled how Gaurav used his 'separation with wife' as a content and penned, "100% agreed with you, sir. He is the one who used his short term separation with his wife as a content making on Instagram. Don't know why we call them an Influencer."

Some even came in support of Gaurav and expressed how he used the criticism as fuel to move on. One netizen penned, "Gaurav certainly knows how to turn feedback into fuel! Looking forward to seeing how he embraces this title, maybe he'll teach us all a thing or two about marketing genius along the way!"
