This unusual incident was shared by Akshay himself on his Twitter account. He revealed that a Google employee approached him for an interview after he posted a video of himself playing the ‘dino game’ on LinkedIn.

But there’s a twist in the story – it wasn’t just any ordinary game. Akshay used his coding skills to modify the game and play it online in a unique manner. He then shared the video of his gameplay on LinkedIn. 

Shortly after, he received a message from a member of Google’s Tech Hiring team that read, “I was amazed watching your ‘Dino Game’. If you are keen on pursuing a career with Google, please revert to me with your updated CV, and I will have you posted the very moment we have a suitable opportunity for you.”
