Mr. Padmanaban is a full-stack developer with 19+ years of experience. He once ran a software company. I asked if he wanted a job. He said, “No, just trying to get my business back on track.”

The story came to light when customer Nithin Kumar received an order delivered by Ebbas, who also shared his resume during the delivery. Kumar later posted about the encounter on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the story quickly gained traction.

Many users expressed admiration for his resilience and offered help in connecting him with job opportunities in the tech sector. His story is now being seen as an example of perseverance and the unpredictable nature of career journeys in today’s world.
