§01 · What We Do

Two sides,
one network of leaders.

Companies come to us to hire a leader. Leaders come to us to announce a move. Both sides feed the same map of who is doing what, where.

§02 · Purpose

Guided by Purpose,
Driven by Results.

i.

Our Mission

Help companies hire leaders who are already proven inside competitor companies, and help leaders who move be seen by the people who matter.

ii.

Our Vision

To be India's most trusted search partner for consumer brands, from retail and jewellery to D2C, FMCG and lifestyle, and the first place people look to see who moved where.

iii.

Our Approach

We go beyond résumés. We map the market first, then approach passive talent already at scale inside competitor brands, before a single job description is written.

§03 · The Founder

Meet the Founder.

CA Ketul Patel, Founder
// Founder & Recruitment Lead

CA Ketul Patel

CA Ketul Patel is a Chartered Accountant turned executive search specialist with over a decade placing senior marketing, sales, finance and operations leaders at retail, jewellery and consumer brands.

His financial background gives him a different lens: he reads compensation structures that CTC slips hide, and he understands what a senior hire actually costs versus what a brand budgets.

Having worked across jewellery, D2C, and organized retail, Ketul built Boardroom CXO around one conviction: the best candidates are not applying anywhere. They are running the functions you need to build, inside competitor companies. Reaching them requires research, timing, and a confidential approach.

Every search at Boardroom CXO starts with market mapping and ends with a mandate defined clearly enough that the hire stays.

Ketul also runs Boardroom Moves, which announces senior leadership moves in India on the Boardroom CXO LinkedIn page, with a page for each move on boardroomcxo.com.

§04 · What We Stand For

Three commitments.

01

Commitment

We are committed to quality in every search and every feature. A client's success is the measure of our own: we don't stop until the right leader is in the right seat.

02

Accessibility

We build bespoke solutions for companies of every size and sector. Whether you're a funded startup or a pre-IPO enterprise, our strategies are tailored to your specific needs.

03

Openness

Collaboration and innovation drive everything we do. We work as a true extension of your team, transparent, communicative, and aligned with your long-term vision at every step.
