Why this network matters to a search firm
Digital-first brands now want FMCG operators who know distribution, brand building and P&L discipline. FMCG majors want leaders who understand data, speed and D2C economics. Rohit knows people who have crossed in both directions.

Where it applies
Mandates where the best candidate sits in a different kind of company from the client: a D2C brand that needs a CPG sales head, or an FMCG major that needs a growth or digital leader from a platform.
India is the base. Suntory, Bosch, Aditya Birla and Mahindra extend the reach into wider emerging-market conversations.

Moves recorded in the sheet. Each is a profile a client has already hired or lost.
Pitch: three contributions in Q1
Each is tied to something Rohit already has, so the first quarter does not depend on building a network from scratch.
Revenue
Turn existing CEO and CHRO relationships into search and advisory conversations.
- Start with the 16 CEOs, ex-CEOs and CHROs
- Open with talent-mobility insight, not a fee pitch
- Agree pipeline and conversion targets in week one
Candidate access
Give the practice a ready list of senior people for any consumer mandate.
- Use 24 account contacts as referral and sounding-board sources
- Build benches for sales, marketing, HR, finance and digital roles
- Draw on PepsiCo, HUL, Nestlé and Nykaa alumni
Client trust
Walk into client meetings already knowing the people and the market.
- Share a short hiring and mobility brief with each target client
- Run discreet references through trusted peers
- Introduce the practice to leaders who already know Rohit
Moving from day one
Rohit doesn’t start from zero. He maps priority accounts, opens CEO and CHRO conversations and builds candidate benches all at once, so live mandates are in play well before day 90. Targets are agreed at kickoff and reviewed together at the end of the quarter.
