Leadership hiring consultants in Pune, for the city that builds machines.
Pune is one of India's great engineering cities. Chakan, Talegaon, Ranjangaon and Pimpri Chinchwad hold automotive, auto components, capital goods and process equipment makers, while Hinjewadi and Kharadi add technology and engineering services. Our Pune work sits mostly on the industrial side.
The leadership market in Pune
Pune's industrial companies range from global OEMs to family owned engineering firms that export worldwide. Many are moving from products to systems and solutions, which changes the leaders they need: business heads who can sell engineered projects, and operations leaders who can run multi site manufacturing. Our recent Pune searches include business leadership in process systems, engineering and design, and leadership roles in water treatment.
Industries we cover in Pune: all 18+ of our industries, with particular depth in automotive and auto components, capital goods and process equipment, water treatment, engineering services and IT.
Roles we fill most often in Pune
- Business Unit Heads and VPs for process systems and capital equipment
- Plant Heads and VP Operations for automotive and engineering plants
- Sales Heads for engineered products and projects, in India and export markets
- CEOs and COOs for promoter owned engineering companies
Hiring challenges
- Pune's engineering leaders are loyal and well settled, so a move must offer a real step up.
- Family owned firms need leaders who respect the founder's engineering legacy while professionalising the business.
- Export focused roles need leaders comfortable with global customers and frequent travel.
