LinkedIn should really bring a button of ‘never happened’
Even I prefer Hindi only... It will be shameful if someone takes proud in not knowing Hindi...
Have seen such fellows.... I take pity on them... Totally avoidable folks

If both parties can communicate in a common native language, then that would be the best.
Ok so if my mother tongue is Tamil, will a Hindi speaking person can do presentation in Hindi? Our country has so many beautiful languages. But we will not be able to work together as a country if we don't use English.
The Constitution mandates Hindi as lingua franca for India, not English.
Why love the enslavers mother tongue?

It depends upon the context.
If someone who is not educated or has a very very basic education and is coming from a very rural area where English (or even Hindi) is non-existent, then they should be given the opportunity to succeed in life by using their regional language.
However if a person is well educated, then they should be comfortable with English in general.
In 1:1 conversations or in smaller groups it's fine to use the local language (as long as you know all the people involved know that language).
But in larger groups or smaller groups with impactful people (e.g. potential/existing customers/stakeholders) one should be able to use English in an understandable manner.
The fear of being unable to speak fluent English restricts people from speaking in understandable and simple English; which many people around the world not having English as their first language do and they are fine with it.
But somehow we are obsessed/pressurised with speaking Fluent English only.
Your money, your rules. But don’t try this same thing in a company unless you’re sure literally everyone there is very knowledgeable in Hindi
I guess it's fine it's a one on one. Not as a presentation to a set of board members
