Work We’re Proud Of
We don’t publish client's name. What we can share is the context, the challenge, and the outcome — which is usually what matters most anyway.
What you’ll notice across these cases is a pattern: the mandates that came to us were not straightforward. Thin talent markets, budget constraints, geography challenges, demanding founders, and roles that sat outside conventional categories. These are the kinds of searches where the difference between a firm that just sources and a firm that thinks becomes very clear.
Bid Head — Renewable Energy Company, NCR
The challenge here was finding a Bid Management professional with genuine capability in financial modelling — a combination that is rarer than it sounds.
Bid functions in renewable energy sit at the intersection of technical specifications, commercial viability, and competitive strategy.
We ran a structured mapping exercise across the entire renewable sector, covering IPPs, EPC firms, and OEMs, to identify candidates who had built this specific skill set. The search required patience and precision — and delivered a candidate who could lead the function.
Purchase Head — Chemical Sector, Bangalore
A Bangalore-based company needed a Procurement Head with specific experience in sourcing a niche industrial chemical. The talent with this knowledge was primarily concentrated in Gujarat and Mumbai, not in Bangalore. The client’s initial position was to hire locally, which would have significantly limited the viable pool.
We presented the market reality clearly, made the case for considering outstation candidates, and worked with the client to reset expectations around relocation. The final placement came from outside the city — and outside the client’s original comfort zone.
HR Head — E-commerce Company, Bangalore
Before this mandate came to us, the founder had rejected multiple candidates provided by other sources — primarily on behavioural grounds. The issue wasn’t credentials; it was cultural and interpersonal fit with a particular kind of founder-led environment.
We spent significant time understanding the mandate — what the founder valued, how decisions were made, and what kind of HR leader would genuinely thrive in that context rather than simply survive it. Our shortlist was small and targeted. The placement landed on the first round.
Multiple Field Sales Roles — FMCG Company
Field sales hiring at scale is one of the hardest problems in recruitment — demand consistently exceeds available talent, and over-specified briefs make the pool even smaller. This client came with a mandate that had so many requirements that made the task difficult.
We worked with them to simplify the brief, focused the search using unconventional sourcing routes — including direct outreach through local distributor networks in markets where candidates weren’t searchable through standard platforms. Multiple roles were closed across locations.
Land Acquisition Profile — Renewable Energy, NCR
Land acquisition talent in renewable energy is one of the most supply-constrained segments in the entire sector. Demand consistently outweighs available talent, and most experienced professionals in this space are already placed and difficult to reach. Clients in this segment also do not want to consider profiles from adjacent sectors.
We took a long view: we built a structured database of over 1,600 professionals across the sector, which has since served as a recurring funnel for multiple mandates of this type. The initial search was delivered; the database continues to pay dividends.
Company Secretary — IPO-Bound Manufacturing Firm
A mid-sized manufacturing company preparing for an IPO needed a Company Secretary with experience from a listed entity — but the budget available was well below the market rate for that profile. The constraints were real and non-negotiable.
Rather than defaulting to standard sourcing channels, we built a candidate database from scratch by scraping financial and regulatory websites to identify CS professionals associated with listed entities. The method was time-consuming but precise. We found the candidate, managed the conversation around expectations, however the client shelved the idea of hiring this profile due to market-related challenges.
Our clients keep returning to us with more complex mandates. We consider that the most honest measure of the work we do.
