Executive Search by City

Global executive search, rooted in India.

Every Indian city has its own leadership market: its industries, its talent pools and its reasons people move. We search across most of them.

Why location matters in leadership hiring

A CFO in Mumbai, a Plant Head in Hosur and a Country Head in Dubai are hired in very different markets. Pay benchmarks, notice periods, family and relocation needs, and the industries that compete for the same leaders all change from city to city. Each city page sets out what that market looks like and how we search in it.

Wherever the role sits, the rule is the same: we search in discretion, assess, evaluate and validate, and let every profile speak for itself.

What we search for

CXO and Functional Head roles across 18+ industries: see the leadership roles we search for and our industry practices. Typically 2 to 3 weeks (passive job seekers) from brief to offer, depending on location and how narrow the niche is.
