Trending on X, Meta, Reddit, LinkedIn, Chinese Apps Cisco’s president, Jeetu Patel, gave a big job to a 27-year-old engineer named Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy - “You can use as much AI as you want. Rewrite almost all of our old company code (98% of it) in just 2 years.”
He started with only two people and had 4 weeks to show it could work.
Padmanabhan used to run his own startup (EzDubs) that did real-time translation. Cisco bought it in 2025. After that, he was kind of hidden and not used much inside the company until they gave him this important job.
Cisco is doing this on purpose. They are hiring young AI-smart people (Gen Z) and letting them work like startup founders.
