Odgers Berndtson expands India operations, opens office in Mumbai

Leading global executive search firm Odgers Berndtson has announced that it is expanding its operations in India by opening an office in Mumbai.

"We have seen a significant increase in senior level search mandates from our international clients. Across all sectors, clients are now confidently investing for the future. While we are managing mandates all over India, the amount of activity in Mumbai, together with the need to expand our own team means that it has become crucial to have a permanent presence in Mumbai in addition to Delhi," Odgers Berndtson India managing director Alasdair Spink said.

A release by the company said that Odgers Berndtson has appointed Bryony Greenwell in Mumbai to lead the retail and consumer practice in India and will report to Spink.

Bryony comes with 13 years of search experience gained in London, Hong Kong and India.

Her experience spans both private and listed Indian and foreign multinational companies across all sub segments of the consumer sector.

"In Bryony we have a sector expert with significant international executive search experience covering London, Hong Kong and India. Bryony brings sector strength, strong professional disciplines and an understanding of the Consumer market in India," Spink said.

"I am very excited to be part of Odgers Berndtson's growth in India. The Indian retail and consumer sector is already significant in its size and set for noteworthy expansion and diversification over the next few years. This is a key strength area of Odgers Berndtson globally. As the Indian representative of our Global Consumer Practice, I look forward to supporting our international clients as they address this exciting market as well as growing Indian companies who are looking to new markets overseas," Bryony Greenwell said.
