Lakshmi Santhanam What's unique about me is the rigor and passion that define my art. That acts as the main propellant to every conversation that I have, every person that I meet - the result is merely a byproduct. Like many other business folks forayed into executive search, I am a former banker who found my calling in being a People Enthusiast.
I have found success in leveraging my experience and learnings to help talent and organizations become futureready. What otherwise keeps me occupied is my penchant for numbers - puzzles, Sudoku's, et al and writing.
-
Dolly Tejwani Being meditative in whatever you do is the whole essence of being who you are.
I thrive on empathy and trust and share these emotions in every relationship that crosses my path.
As a recruiter for more than 7years now, what has helped me and can be pathfinder for many - "Understanding a question is half the answer and the other half is #Research”.

-
Mohita Khilwani One of the most critical decisions to make in life is the people that we surround ourselves with. With this mantra in life, I have believed in taking the right risks and standing up for what I believe in.
And if things don't work out as planned, there is nothing that a strong cup of coffee can’t fix. From Founding a tech startup 'Coffic' and building my own team, I have now come on the other side of the table.
As a recruiter, I believe in truly partnering with my clients, walking their journey and helping them build their dream team.
-
Smit Joshi To see with eyes unclouded. I'm passionate about Sales, Relationship Building and end-to-end Client Management.
I have a knack for reading (both fiction and non-fiction), music, movies and early morning runs.
Gen-Z by age, Millennial in terms of dedication and raw will-power, Gen-X when it comes to professionalism.

Praveen Tiwari As a techie, I have always believed in automation. A well tested code will always give the same output agnostic of the iterations.
Interestingly, the same does not work with people. Situations evolve and so do we.
I am a techie with 15 years of experience in service and product engineering now evolved into Executive Search.

Sohini Shah Kothari “It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can 'get' hit and keep moving.” I am passionate about dogs, painting and I strongly believe in the path of spirituality.
I always follow my heart and do things that I love. My love for cooking various cuisines turned me into an entrepreneur of an exciting culinary startup “The Suburban Bean”.
A semi-qualified CA professional turned Entrepreneur and now a Search Professional. My friendly and open nature allows me to have honest conversations with everyone I interact with.
-
Vandana Singh Sridhar “As Jim Collins in his book - The Good to Great, says - People are not a company's most important asset. The RIGHT PEOPLE are!” To this extent, I have always enjoyed getting a sense of the vision, culture and skills that companies seek to recruit and equally on the other side in meeting talented people, understanding their success stories and motivations to determine a “FIT”.
With over 12 years of experience in both Ops & Hiring, I believe that I am in this unique intersection of Passion, Skill and Value (Ref. IKIGAI) at Scrabble, working with a wonderful, high-energy team. When I am not working, I love reading, going on long drives amidst lush green nature & spending time with family.
-
Shobhita Lakshmanan I firmly believe that climbing to the top demands strength and character, whether it is to the top of Mt. Everest or to the top of your career. An MBA by qualification, marketing person by profession and a classical dancer by passion.
I enjoy cooking & gardening as much as I enjoy eating and sleeping. But most of all I love spending time with my loved ones. Started my career in marketing and then ventured into recruitment helping companies build the most important asset "The right people".
-
Sachin Yadav I have worked with fast paced edtech startups and have taken businesses from 0 to 1 to 2. I believe that 50% hardwork and 50% smartwork yields 100% results.
In my free time I like to explore nature, spend time with my folks and watch sci-fi flicks.
-
Pooja Bedi As a believer in Buddhist Philosophies, respect and compassion are at the core of my being. I enjoy indulging in value-creating conversations and it makes me happy to encourage people to do their utmost best. As a professional, I have donned many hats - from a private banker to an event decorator and then a travel agent.
Having a child has been the most fulfilling experience of my life, I now know the meaning of unconditional love. Scrabble has given me the wonderful opportunity to amalgamate all the roles I play in life and lead as Myself!

I am of the opinion that life is not easy, but perseverance and above all self-confidence helps in realizing one’s potential. I jumped guns after CA (Inter) and went on to pursue my masters which gave me the first stepping stone to make the cut into the corporate world.
