About

For over 20 years, I have operated at the intersection of technology and talent, witnessing the evolution of the Indian tech landscape from the inside. My focus is on the most critical phase of a company’s lifecycle: the transition from strategy to scale. I partner with Founders, Country Heads, and CHROs to architect the leadership teams that drive Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and high-growth SaaS organizations. The Perspective of 20+ Years in the Market: Having navigated Pune’s tech ecosystem through multiple market cycles, I offer more than a pipeline of candidates. I provide the market intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and organizational design insights required to de-risk high-stakes hiring for global brands. Core Focus Areas: GCC & Hub Incubation: Sourcing the foundational leadership (Engineering, Ops, Product) required to launch or scale captive centers in India. SaaS & Product GTM: Identifying the specific 'Product DNA' needed for high-velocity software sales, marketing, and customer success. Executive Search: Connecting Director and VP-level talent with organizations that value culture-fit as much as technical expertise. Whether you are a global firm establishing your first India presence or a local product company scaling internationally, I bring a long-term, consultative approach to your talent roadmap. ✉️ kavita@kavayah.co.in | 📍 Pune-based.
