Purba Bhattacharya — Chief Operating Officer
My journey of evolving from an HR professional to a business leader has been a process of learning, unlearning & re-learning.The first part of my career was the foundation of my professional journey. I had the privilege of working with some of the best in the industry. Those years have helped me build perspective and competence. Today, executive search, CXO & board hiring are my areas of expertise, and leading turnkey hiring projects is a responsibility I take immense pride in. Developing teams into exceptional headhunters and watching them hone their skills is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. We specialise in Mid-Senior level hiring.#ExecutiveSearch #TechHiring#DataScience #AI/MLRecruitment #StartupHiring Building People Konnect alongside Anjali has been nothing short of exhilarating. Every challenge, every milestone, and every late-night brainstorming session has shaped not just the business, but also me. The thrill of creating something from the ground up, pushing our own boundaries, and seeing our vision take shape has been both fulfilling and humbling. There’s never been a dull moment—just the joy of building, the excitement of solving, and the relentless drive to keep going. It’s been a journey of passion, perseverance, and limitless learning, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Over the decades the landscape of talent management has evolved, but our foundation remains rooted in first principles. We’ve built our approach on agility, staying attuned to market shifts, listening closely to our clients, and adapting with relevance. We stay nimble, solution-oriented, and deeply consultative. We learn from every interaction, remain humble and continuously refine ourselves. Partnering with some of the best in the industry keeps us sharp and we know there’s still so much more ahead. I grew up in a progressive home, where my mother was the strongest force, and gender was never a limitation. It wasn’t until I stepped into the real world that I realized how different this was for many women. The idea that women often don’t get their due—at work or in society—was something I had never considered, and it made me aware of the privilege I had. That awareness drives me to build business solutions that help women advance in their careers. I also mentor young girls students. Raising a daughter and growing alongside her, has given me a fresh perspective on how the next generation sees the world—one that is open, curious, and ever-evolving. It’s a reminder that learning never stops and the best lessons come from the most unexpected places.
