Global executive search firm strengthens India-market focus after over a decade of operations in the country and successful mandates with leading brands<\/em><\/p>\n

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 22: <\/strong>Archer & Bull<\/u><\/a>, the global executive search and leadership advisory firm, today announced a strategic expansion of its India operations, as it sharpens its focus on serving the rapidly evolving Indian market for leadership talent. Having operated in India since 2015 with a growing team of executive search consultants across the firm\u2019s offices at Gurugram and Bengaluru, Archer & Bull will now significantly deepen its India-market engagement and leadership hiring practice across sectors, including digital commerce, consumer, retail, technology, Global Capability Centres, fintech and emerging businesses. India contributes an estimate 10% of Archer & Bull\u2019s global revenues at present, which it looks to double in the year ahead.<\/p>\n

Archer & Bull has already built strong credentials in the Indian market through strategic mandates for leading organisations,including Nykaa, Tata Group companies such as Trent (Westside, Zudio) and Lifestyle India, as well as companies from the Middle-East, looking to set up GCCs in India.India\u2019s expansion will focus on executive search and CXO hiring, leadership hiring for digital and consumer businesses, cross-border leadership mandates, GCCs and India market entry, board and leadership advisory services and diversity and women leadership mandates. The firm plans to further strengthen its India-based consultant network and sector specialist hiring capabilities, while continuing to leverage its global executive search expertise for multinational and cross-border assignments. <\/p>\n

The expansion comes at a time when, despite macroeconomic volatility, India is witnessing one of the strongest leadership hiring cycles in recent years, fuelled by rapid digital transformation, GCC expansion, start-up maturity, succession planning and increasing demand for leaders capable of driving scale and organisational transformation. Industry estimates indicate that India\u2019s executive hiring market grew by nearly 9\u201310% in FY25, with strong demand for digital, AI, product, omni-channel and transformation leadership roles across sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia is no longer viewed merely as a large talent hub; it is increasingly becoming a global leadership powerhouse,\u201d says Rajat Mehra, Founder Partner, Archer & Bull<\/u><\/a>.\u201cOver the next five years, we expect leadership hiring in India to be shaped by three defining trends- the rise of digital-first enterprises, exponential GCC growth and Indian leaders taking on larger global mandates across functions and geographies. While AI and automation are reshaping traditional workforce models, they are simultaneously accelerating demand for transformational leaders who can drive innovation, manage global complexity and build AI- enabled organisations.As a result, organisations today are seeking leaders who can combine agility, cross-cultural capability and transformation expertise\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n

Mehra further added, \u201cHaving operated in India for over a decade, we see this as the right time to deepen our presence and partner more closely with organisations building the next generation of global businesses. As a firm with strong Indian roots and a global outlook, it is also immensely gratifying to see Indian leaders shaping boardrooms and business outcomes worldwide.We believe the market is entering a phase where leadership quality will become one of the strongest differentiators for business growth.This expansion is a natural step for us, as we deepen our engagement with India-headquartered enterprises, high-growth start-ups and multinational organisations\u201d<\/p>\n
