Vikram Chhachhi was elevated as Managing Partner, India, DHR Global in December 2022. DHR is a leading player in the segments of executive search, leadership consulting, and emerging leader search solutions in more than 50 markets spanning 22 countries. In an interview with BW Businessworld, Chhachhi talks about his present role, broad shifts in the hiring process, how leaders are approaching their careers and the impact of their decisions on businesses. Excerpts:
Tell us about your journey at DHR and top learnings so far.
In my role as the Managing Partner for the firm’s India operations, it is all about running the India offices, managing people, and helping both the business as well as our people grow. Significantly, as a global firm, we are looking at some key global and regional – Asia Pacific specifically – corporate functions being based out of India.
One of the biggest learnings for me has been how to simplify and untangle issues, especially where people and business are concerned. It is also about the ability to quickly analyse issues at hand and offer guidance and advice on what is the best way to tackle and address those. Also, to be empathetic with all without missing out on the larger vision and goal of the business. A lot of people call the goal as the outcome, but I believe mere outcomes are short-lived.
What are the broad shifts in the hiring process, especially in the post-Covid scenario?

Powerful, Peculiar Perquisites
MOST COMPANIES recognise that people are key to their success. Competition is all about the war for talent. Higher compensations can, in many cases, attract that brilliant leader or the tech genius, but a competitor may well offer even more. This race is financially draining and not really a great strategy.
