The Story in Brief
A former taxi driver who joined Adonmo without a resume now heads the company’s procurement function across India, its co-founder Sravanth Gajula says. The Times of India reports that Gajula hired him 10 years ago, when he had passed Class 9, knew little English and had no corporate experience. Adonmo enrolled him in spoken English classes and assigned meaningful work. Gajula says the employee has become one of the organisation’s most trusted people. His LinkedIn account of the journey drew widespread online praise for valuing potential over formal qualifications. Adonmo, founded in 2016, operates in digital out-of-home advertising.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy lesson online is that degrees and resumes do not matter. That is too broad. This case shows what can happen when a company pairs a chance with training, responsibility and time. It also does not prove that instinct alone makes good hires, or that every employer can copy the outcome without support. The fair test is whether Adonmo’s wider hiring and promotion record shows similar results beyond this one employee.
