On Wednesday, Twitter Parents shared the news of Parag taking paternity leave. “It’s amazing to work at a company where the executives lead by example and take the generous Parental Leave given to all employees. Congrats to Twitter Parents Executive Chair, @paraga, on this exciting news!” read the caption.

It is wonderful that he is publicly talking about & taking #parentalleave AND “a few weeks” isn’t close to the culture goals @Twitter has set with their generous 20 weeks of leave. This is an incredible learning & DEI opp for the whole org -looking forward to talking to you more!
congratulations
