Executive Search and Selection

Financial Services & Banking

Gladwin maps the full market of leaders who hold regulatory accountability and growth ambition in equal measure — a genuinely rare combination. We have placed CFOs, CROs, and MDs across India's largest banks, NBFCs, AMCs, and fintechs with the discretion this sector demands.

Technology & Software

We give technology companies access to a proprietary network of 8,000+ executives built over two decades of trusted relationships. From GCC heads to founding CEOs of PE-backed SaaS firms, Gladwin delivers where other search firms run out of names.

Consumer Goods & Retail

Gladwin finds the rare leaders who understand legacy trade and digital commerce with equal fluency — people who can build an Indian brand across every channel. We have deep coverage of FMCG, D2C, and modern retail from category manager to CEO.

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Healthcare leadership demands a consultant who speaks pharma, hospital systems, and medtech in the same breath. Gladwin does. We have placed Country Presidents, CFOs, and COOs across India's most complex and regulated healthcare organisations.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Gladwin places the general managers and business unit heads who run the hardest leadership jobs in Indian industry — where precision, workforce scale, and operational safety must coexist every day. Our manufacturing network is among the deepest in the country.

Energy & Infrastructure

Gladwin places the CEOs and project directors who hold both the pace of renewable energy and the capital discipline of large infrastructure — at the same time. We have built relationships across every major IPP, utility, and infrastructure developer in India.

Private Equity & Venture Capital

PE mandates do not tolerate a second search — and Gladwin has never needed one. We are the firm that marquee funds trust when the timeline is compressed, the brief is sensitive, and the cost of the wrong hire simply cannot be absorbed.

Professional Services

Gladwin operates where talent, reputation, and culture intersect in professional services — where a single wrong hire can damage client relationships irreparably. We have placed practice heads and managing partners across India's leading consulting, legal, and advisory firms.

Real Estate & Construction

Gladwin places the CEOs, CFOs, and business heads who bring institutional discipline to an industry still defining its professional leadership standard. We have deep coverage across listed developers, REITs, EPC businesses, and large infrastructure conglomerates.

Media & Entertainment

Gladwin finds the leaders who can run a legacy broadcast business and architect its digital successor simultaneously — a genuinely rare capability. We have placed CEOs, content heads, and revenue leaders across India's most influential media organisations.

Automotive

Gladwin places the business unit presidents and functional leaders who hold ICE legacy, EV urgency, and supply chain complexity without flinching. We have built deep relationships across India's OEMs, component manufacturers, and the emerging EV ecosystem.

Telecommunications

Indian telecom is among the world's most contested markets — three players, a billion users, every basis point of ARPU fought for. Gladwin places the CTOs and Chief Revenue Officers built to perform in exactly this kind of arena.

Education & EdTech

Leadership demands in Indian education span running a 50,000-student university and scaling a Series C EdTech to profitability. Gladwin has the sector depth and networks to place the right leader across both ends of this wide and fast-changing spectrum.

Logistics & Supply Chain

India's logistics sector is being built and rebuilt at the same time. Gladwin places the P&L leaders and network architects who can scale infrastructure while the business model is still evolving — a skill that requires both operator instinct and strategic patience.

Agriculture & Food

Feeding India at scale requires leaders who work fluently across agri-inputs, processing, cold chain, and farm-gate distribution — often within one mandate. Gladwin has the sector depth and network to find that rare generalist for your brief.

Chemicals & Materials

India's specialty chemicals sector has attracted global capital precisely because it has scale but lacks premium leadership. Gladwin places the MDs and business heads who close that gap and make the investment thesis pay off for acquirers and founders alike.

Government & Public Sector

PSUs and government enterprises need leaders who deliver with private sector urgency within public accountability frameworks. Gladwin has navigated this complexity repeatedly — placing senior leadership in DFIs, regulatory bodies, and central PSUs across India.

Hospitality & Travel

A hotel group's brand lives or dies in its leadership bench. Gladwin places General Managers who own the guest experience and group CEOs who write the next chapter of growth — understanding that in hospitality, these two things are never truly separate.
