IIT Alum Rejects Meta Offer to Co-Found AI Startup Periodic Labs

Agarwal says the rejected package was far above the widely repeated $1 million figure.

Rishabh Agarwal pushed back on a viral version of his career move in a post on X, saying Meta's offer was "an order of magnitude higher than $1 million" while pointing back to the original post by Vikas Alwys. Nikesh Arora amplified that claim with his own quote-post, and a follow-up reply on X read the comment as meaning "at least 1 oom," short for order of magnitude.

Meta's offer was an order of magnitude higher than $1 million 🥲
