Mandate:

An established, promoter-led Indian manufacturing company in the capital equipment space is seeking a seasoned Interim CEO with a techno-commercial background and a proven track record of driving rapid business scale-up — both domestically and internationally.

The company is well-known in its niche and has strong technical products. However, it now requires a transformational leader to accelerate growth, energize the sales engine, mentor the top team, and build the foundation for an IPO or institutional capital event in the next 3 years.
