Bionic businessman and entrepreneur Bryan Johnson who aims to reverse aging is spending his six-day visit to India. He is a leader with innovative anti-aging initiative schemes, and he shares those experiences on social media giving a glimpse of his visits while generating much noise with Indian followers. The people are following his updates and not only for insight from his project but also surprised by the use of hot Indian slang.
Social Media Explodes After Desi Slang Post.
The 47-year-old entrepreneur wrote on his social media platform X, “I love the culture of bi in India. It perfectly captures my worldview: take your work seriously, not yourself.” This casual mention of the popular Indian term has caused an uproar from the followers, particularly in India, where “bi” is so widely used in the comic, carefree context and put social media users into paroxysms of laughter at Johnson’s casual mention.

A Curious Interaction on ‘Jugaad‘
Soon after, another inquisitive follower commented by raising another question related to the Indian popular term “jugaad,” meaning an innovative, though often cheap solution or workaround. The user lightheartedly asks, “How about jugaad? koi blueprint ka sasta jugaad batao,” referring to Johnson‘s Blueprint project.

In a swift response, Johnson acknowledged the term‘s importance but added a thoughtful take. “I like jugaad — most innovation comes from frugality. But if it means taking shortcuts, we are in trouble. Fixing air pollution in India will require an overhaul, and can‘t be done with jugaad,” he remarked. His response quickly went viral, with his post garnering over 700,000 views as of now.
Reactions Pour In From Indian Fans
This came as a surprise, with many people left speechless, and a wave of reactions on social media ensued. A user joked, “Bro spent a few days in India but became more Indian than most of us.” Others couldn‘t help but praise him, as one follower said, “He just became my favorite millionaire!” Another enthusiast commented, “Dude‘s hitting all the notes to reach out to the targeted demographics.
The response from social media users was extremely positive, wheremany expressed shock that he learned local phrases in a very shorttime. A user sarcastically suggested, “Give him an Aadhaar card already.” Another was totally amazed to ask, “How does he know all this? He also knows ‘jugaad‘ and all. Has he been spending time in India?”
Visits of Johnson in India
Except for his social media engagements, Johnson‘s India visit has been replete with landmark interactions. He visited the high-rise Ambani residence Antilia, where he interacted with personalities like Anand Piramal, Shloka Ambani, and Sonam Kapoor. Previously, he attended a Soho House private event wherein he got to meet with influential personalities like Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and comedian Tanmay Bhat.
A Perfect Blend of Work and Fun
While in India, posts by Johnson were light hearted and candid appreciation of the Indian culture points out towards his belief that serious work should not go hand in hand with a non-serious attitude toward life. Well said one user, “That‘s the secret ingredient to surviving and thriving—serious work with a side of not taking life too seriously. Perfect balance, right?
Indeed, Bryan Johnson surely made many memories back from the India visit-post open-mindedness, humor, and applause for every kind of culture.
