Gaurav Ghelani — CEO
With over 17 yrs of experience at TCS , I've built my career on a simple belief: the right people, in the right roles, can transform organizations. As Region Head – Talent Acquisition at Tata Consultancy Services, I lead recruitment strategies that don't just fill positions—they fuel business growth. I specialize in executive search and CXO hiring, ensuring leadership pipelines remain robust and future-ready. My work spans campus hiring strategy, where I partner with academic institutions to identify and nurture early career talent, and process excellence initiatives that leverage data to make smarter, faster hiring decisions. As a TEDx speaker and mentor, I'm passionate about sharing insights on talent trends, career development, and the evolving workplace. I advise academic institutions on industry alignment and serve as a bridge between education and employment. I believe in building relationships, not just filling requisitions. Whether I'm engaging with a Fortune 500 CXO candidate or a fresh graduate, my focus remains the same: understanding potential, creating opportunity, and driving mutual success.
