About

Most people in executive search will tell you it is all about the database. I believe it is about the conversation. I am a Principal at Kwan Ventures (www.kwanventures.com), where I advise high growth companies on leadership and strategic hiring across Engineering, Manufacturing, and Operations. My prior experience spans consulting and scaling startups, along with being part of the founding team of Asia’s then largest supercritical thermal power plant at Adani Power. These experiences taught me one thing: the best matches don't come from algorithms, they come from knowing people, understanding businesses, and refusing to settle for "close enough." If you are building a leadership team or exploring your next professional chapter, I would be glad to connect at sunil.sahoo@kwanventures.com
