CHRO search firm in Mumbai.
Retained Chief Human Resources Officer search in Mumbai and across Mumbai · Pune · Western India. The modern CHRO is a strategist, not an administrator. We look for leaders who can build culture, manage senior succession, and act as a real counterweight in the CEO's office.
How we read a CHRO.
Every CHRO candidate we shortlist for a Mumbai mandate is evaluated against five lenses, refined over two decades of CHRO placements across India and the GCC:
- 01Senior succession and CXO bench-building
- 02Compensation philosophy at scale (cash, ESOP, LTI design)
- 03M&A integration and TUPE/transfer expertise
- 04Industrial relations and works-council fluency where relevant
- 05Board-facing capability on talent, comp and risk
₹2.5–6 Cr fixed + variable + LTI
Typical CHRO band for Mumbai-based mandates, fixed plus variable plus long-term equity / ESOP. Adjust upward for listed-company and PE-backed roles.
10–14 weeks
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.
