The challenge

The group had approved a India capability centre covering engineering, finance and supply chain, but had no local brand presence, no leadership on the ground and a board-committed go-live date fourteen months out.

What we did

  • Appointed the site leader first through a confidential executive search, then built the hiring plan with them rather than for them.
  • Ran three sector squads in parallel — technology, finance and operations — against a single shared pipeline dashboard.
  • Used our matching engine to pre-rank an existing pool of 40,000 Hyderabad candidates, cutting first-shortlist time to four days.
  • Embedded two of our consultants on-site for the final six months to run offer management and joiner conversion.
They appointed our site leader, then rebuilt the plan around what that person actually thought was possible. That single decision is why we opened early rather than late.
