Agenda

Setting up business in India and create a global Technology hub

The Scenario

Our client was seeking dynamic leaders with proven credentials to establish its India Leader- ship Management team. The core team was expected to scale the operations and create a strong position for the company in India.

Veda Executive Search & Consulting was re- tained to support the India entry mandate for the client.

We were mandated to hire the entire leader- ship team for the client including the Head IT, Enterprise Architect, QA head, Delivery heads, CFO, APAC Head-HR and other positions.

Veda was also retained for talent mapping ex- ercise and advisor to facilitate strategic tie-ups with Infrastructure providers, outsourcing part- ners and other vendors.

The Challenge

The client had no prior operational experience in Indian market.

Also as one of the late entrants in the country, the client had bleak brand recognition in the industry.

Since the Client was not a typical IT company but a captive of a Healthcare giant, the oppor- tunity to attract leadership talent to a startup operation was poised against a strong chal- lenge.

There was a perception about the quality of work in a captive vs a product and solution driven companies hence bringing quality talent on board was a herculean task.

The cost of acquiring talent had to be main- tained within a rationalized budget.

Strategy

The client's requirements were discussed in detail leading to an in-depth un- derstanding of their strategic goals and objectives.

Veda dedicated an internal team of consultants, vertical experts and appro- priate resources to lead the search & ensure successful delivery.

We followed a detailed process of industry mapping, identifying target com- panies in healthcare sector. Veda mapped over 22 firms and 34 top execu- tives from target industry.

Additionally, we gathered recommendations and referrals from our extensive network of contacts.

A strong pitch book was created for the client’s proposition and was repre- sented by our experts to engage with the desired candidates.

Our consultants strongly evangelized the targeted candidates against the res- ervations and exposed them to the opportunities in the proposition.

A meticulous assessment of these candidates was carried out by our partners keeping the clients requirement as the screening criteria.
