Partner & Practice Leader – Capital Goods, Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment

Company: BGR (Blue Genes Research)
Location: Remote / Flexible (Core Hubs: Bengaluru | Hyderabad | Pune | Delhi-NCR)
Engagement Type: Entrepreneurial Practice Partnership (Independent P&L Ownership)
Industry: Retained Executive Search & Board Advisory
The Mandate: Anchor Executive Search for India’s Industrial Engine
India’s capital goods, machine tools, process equipment, and heavy machinery sectors are experiencing unprecedented expansion—fueled by domestic manufacturing incentives, infrastructure spending, and the global "China+1" sourcing shift.
Yet, machinery manufacturers, EPC equipment suppliers, and precision tooling enterprises face an acute bottleneck: finding transformative, technically grounded C-suite leaders who understand precision engineering, lean operations, and global export compliance.
If you have spent 15 to 20+ years leading industrial equipment businesses, managing heavy machinery P&Ls, or directing large-scale capital goods manufacturing, your sector authority is an invaluable asset. BGR invites seasoned industrial executives to channel that domain equity into building an independent Capital Goods & Machine Manufacturing Executive Search Practice.
Prior recruitment experience is not required. You bring the engineering domain gravitas, promoter trust, and boardroom networks; BGR provides the global retained search platform, research horsepower, and operational infrastructure.
What You Will Do
Build & Spearhead the Industrial Vertical: Own and scale a dedicated search practice servicing machine tools, industrial automation, heavy engineering, process machinery, and hydraulics/pneumatics majors.
Promoter & Board-Level Advisory: Interface directly with Industrial Promoters, Managing Directors, European/Japanese Joint Venture Boards, and Group CHROs on mission-critical leadership appointments.
Originate & Close Retained Searches: Retain and deliver premium search mandates for Managing Directors, Chief Operating Officers, Plant Directors, R&D/Engineering Heads, and Global Sales Directors.
Practitioner-Led Executive Evaluation: Use your authentic engineering and operational background to assess candidate competencies—distinguishing true operational fixers from paper resumes.
Practice Commercials & Engagement Model
Entrepreneurial Partnership (No Fixed CTC): This is a sovereign Practice Ownership opportunity, not a salaried corporate employment role. There is no fixed corporate base salary or monthly retainer.
High-Yield Billings Retention: Partners operate an independent P&L, retaining the dominant share (up to 70–80%) of all originated and executed mandate billings.
Zero Heavy Franchise Royalties: Unlike standard recruitment franchise networks, you do not pay upfront franchise licensing fees. Your primary investment is your domain expertise, time, and professional network.
Complete Professional Autonomy: Full control over your client engagements, schedule, and team expansion with completely uncapped earning potential.
