Retail & E-commerce

Retail and e-commerce in India are no longer separate worlds. The leaders who succeed today move fluently across stores, marketplaces, D2C and quick commerce — and the talent market reflects that.

The market today

What the Retail & E-commerce landscape looks like.

India's retail story spans large format physical retail, branded specialty, marketplace e-commerce, D2C brands, and the rapidly maturing quick-commerce category. Each operates with its own logic; the strongest businesses are building capability across more than one.

Leadership demand is broad: category and merchandising heads, operations and supply-chain leaders, marketing and growth talent, technology and product. Quick commerce in particular has become its own discipline, and the leadership pool is still being formed.

Our mandates span physical retail, e-commerce platforms, D2C brands, and the consumer-tech businesses adjacent to them.
