Twitter's Ex-CEO Is Moving Past His Elon Musk Drama and Starting an AI Company
No one would have blamed Parag Agrawal if, in October 2022, he threw away his phone and went into hiding. The former Twitter chief executive officer had just spent six months fighting Elon Musk, the world's richest person, in Delaware chancery court and the court of public opinion. Musk had made Agrawal's life hell. First he wanted to buy Twitter, then he didn't, then he accused the company of lying to shareholders. The board was eventually forced to sue Musk into buying the company—a successful legal maneuver that also cost Agrawal his job: The first thing Musk did after closing on the $44 billion deal was fire most of the C-suite, including Agrawal, without severance. As Musk publicly dismantled Twitter and turned it into X, Agrawal's friends and former co-workers kept telling him he needed a break. Instead, he took meetings at the Blue Bottle coffee shop in downtown Palo Alto, California, and started reading research papers and writing code again. 'I'm not a person that can enjoy the beach in that moment,' Agrawal says.

We remain committed to scaling renewable energy infrastructure that is sustainable and aligned with India's energy goals," Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer, Juniper Green Energy, said. Juniper Green Energy currently operates a total capacity of 1.45 GWp (as of June 27, 2025). The company has recently commissioned the 103 MWp solar component of its hybrid plant at Karanja, in Maharashtra (about 16 months ahead of its scheduled commercial operation dates) and has also partially commissioned 25 MW of its 50 MW wind project in Gujarat, almost three months ahead of schedule. These milestones demonstrate its strong execution capabilities. Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy power producer in India, focusing on the development, construction and operation of utility-scale solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy projects.
