Executive Search in India
STRANCE runs confidential executive search mandates for boards, CEOs, and CHROs across India, appointing Vice President to board-level leaders since 2010.
Where STRANCE Works in India
STRANCE runs executive search across India from its Hyderabad base, covering CEO, CXO, and board-level mandates in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, and Pune. Every search is founder-led and confidential, extending into cross-border appointments with the Middle East when required.
Hyderabad remains our founding market and largest base of ongoing mandates. We work with boards, CEOs, and CHROs on CXO appointments, and with investors building portfolio leadership across India's commercial centres.

How Cross-Border Searches Run
A cross-border mandate can begin from either side: an Indian company seeking a Gulf-based executive, or a Gulf company seeking Indian leadership talent. STRANCE runs the same five-stage methodology, Understand through Secure, whichever office originates the search. The full methodology is set out on our executive search page.
