More than just connecting with friends and family, social media is now being used as a means of brand communication and client building by companies. Such is the reach of social media, that certain CEOs have taken to it in order to create a direct channel of communication between the company, its client and consumers. A CEO on Twitter is tantamount to a Chief Reputation Officer, one who upholds the brand’s image while also opinionating on trending topics. Here are some CEOs who have influential and impressive Twitter accounts.
Kunal Shah, Freecharge
Observational humor is the best kind of humor right? Kunal has a lot of that going on in his Tweets. Plus, he has a lot of useful insights into startups, cashless transactions and consumer behavior. Helps you go Cashless, gives you a chuckle or two. What more could you want from a CEO?
High IQ without a curious insight seeking mindset is like having an iPhone 7 only for Whatsapp.

Tough business model of news when FB / Snapchat feed is the newsfeed of millennial. Sadly, views matter less, page views matter more :-/
