India is our largest market outside Singapore, and our work there has grown quickly since 2024. Much of it is for large industrial projects and manufacturing: semiconductors and electronics, batteries and energy storage, automotive and vehicle software, chemicals and advanced materials, and engineering and construction.
The roles are chief executives and site heads, R&D and technology leaders, manufacturing, quality and engineering heads, project and construction leaders for large plants, and the HR and finance heads who build the teams around them.
Many of our India searches are for international groups setting up or expanding plants, and they need leaders who have built a new site or brought new technology into production. We work from Singapore with Maxima's offices and partners in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Delhi.
