Founder Says Tier-2 City Candidate Became His Best Hire

Kanan Bahl said a Tier-2 city candidate had poor English but excelled at a sample task.

Although the role involved facing clients, Bahl hired the candidate despite initial doubts.

Bahl said he was tired of hiring people with strong English but weak technical skills.

He encouraged the employee to communicate confidently with clients in Hindi when appropriate.

Bahl argued that English fluency reflects exposure, not necessarily intelligence or professional capability.
