COO search firm in Delhi NCR.
Retained Chief Operating Officer search in Delhi NCR and across Gurgaon · New Delhi · Noida. COO is the most ambiguously-defined CXO role. We invest the first two weeks of a COO search shaping the brief — making sure the company actually needs a COO, and not a CTO, CRO or stronger CEO.
How we read a COO.
Every COO candidate we shortlist for a Delhi NCR mandate is evaluated against five lenses, refined over two decades of COO placements across India and the GCC:
- 01Operating-cadence design and execution
- 02Cross-functional alignment under stress
- 03Cost-to-serve and unit-economics fluency
- 04Geographic and vertical scale lived through
- 05CEO-partnership maturity
₹3–8 Cr fixed + variable + ESOP / LTI
Typical COO band for Delhi NCR-based mandates, fixed plus variable plus long-term equity / ESOP. Adjust upward for listed-company and PE-backed roles.
12–16 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.
From the ground.
We have placed COOs at PE-backed roll-ups, listed industrials and growth-stage technology businesses — we know when the role is real and when it isn't.
Delhi NCR is home to our headquarters and the largest concentration of consultants in the firm. Most national CXO mandates we run — for banks, NBFCs, technology majors, GCCs, consumer brands and infrastructure businesses — are operated from here.
