A ten-person leadership team for India's largest mobile esports platform

India's largest mobile esports platform, post Series D, with more than 50 million users and operations across India and the United States, in a hyper-growth phase.

The company needed an entire leadership layer at once, ten roles spanning engineering, product, revenue, brand, data and user experience, across two geographies, under intense time pressure. No single firm had been briefed on the full scope.

The roles sat in two very different talent markets. US-based engineering required a global search. Data sciences required deep specialist networks. Brand and growth demanded India consumer-internet expertise at scale. Running these as separate, uncoordinated searches risked inconsistent calibration and a slow close.

We took the full mandate as a single partner rather than letting it fragment across firms, and ran parallel sourcing strategies tuned to each role and each market.

A global search for US engineering leadership, specialist network mapping for data sciences, and India consumer-internet depth for brand and growth, all coordinated under one team with a shared bar for calibre and culture fit.

One partner owning ten leadership roles across two geographies simultaneously. It remains our single largest mandate by volume.

All ten roles closed within the mandate window across both geographies, with high retention across the cohort.
