CEO search firm in Delhi NCR.
Retained Chief Executive Officer search in Delhi NCR and across Gurgaon · New Delhi · Noida. CEO mandates are the most consequential leadership decision a board makes. We run them as a multi-quarter conversation, not a transaction — mapping the universe, back-channelling references before the first call, and pressure-testing the candidate against the company's actual operating reality.
How we read a CEO.
Every CEO candidate we shortlist for a Delhi NCR mandate is evaluated against five lenses, refined over two decades of CEO placements across India and the GCC:
- 01P&L scale lived through (not managed in slide-deck form)
- 02Capital-allocation instincts at scale
- 03Board and investor fluency
- 04Operating cadence under stress
- 05Successor and bench-building track record
₹6–18 Cr fixed + variable + long-term equity
Typical CEO band for Delhi NCR-based mandates, fixed plus variable plus long-term equity / ESOP. Adjust upward for listed-company and PE-backed roles.
14–22 weeks (longer for confidential replacements)
Kick-off to signed offer. Add 4–6 weeks for confidential CXO replacements and cross-border briefs.
Retained
Single-firm retainer, milestone-billed at 25–33% of target compensation. 12-month replacement guarantee.
