The same career

Your record is not the problem. The way it is told may be.

Your document

What is happening right now?

Choose the one that sounds like you, and we set your order to match.

  • One document: ₹30,000 plus GST, with 3 revisions
  • 10 documents: ₹75,000 plus GST, to use over 12 months
  • Any document can be a resume, a board profile or a consulting deck
  • Choose a template, or leave the design to us
  • No account needed. We contact you within one working day

How it works

From your record to your hands

  1. Choose one document or the pack

    No account is needed. Your GST invoice comes to your email.

  2. We take your record and the role

    We contact you within one working day.

  3. We prepare the document

    Written for the people who will read it first.

  4. You review it

    3 revisions on a single document, until it reads right.

What we need from you

  • Your full record: roles, scope, numbers and dates
  • The role you are applying for, and the job description if you have one
  • Any figures you are not free to share, so that we leave them out

Why an executive search firm

We read these on the other side of the table.

Gladwin International has been an executive search firm since 2010. Its CEO practice, led by Anandh Shanmugaraj, has made 200+ CEO and MD placements across a decade-long practice. Knowing what a committee reads first is our everyday work.

  • Your record stays with us

    It is used only to prepare your documents. It is not circulated to any hiring side.

  • Your limits are respected

    Tell us the figures you are not free to share, and we leave them out.

What it does not do

  • It does not get you a role, and no one can promise one
  • It does not put you on a shortlist for our retained searches
  • It does not add achievements you do not have. Every claim must be yours to defend

Before you decide

The questions we are asked first

What should a CEO resume include?

A CEO resume should open with a line written for the seat you want, then lead with what that reader looks for first: the decisions that were yours, kept apart from what the market gave, the size of what you ran, your record with the board, and the successor you left behind. Everything else steps back. A promoter and a private-equity fund read the same career differently.

How much does a CEO resume or board profile cost?

One document is ₹30,000, with 3 revisions. 10 documents over 12 months are ₹75,000. Both are plus GST.

What is the difference between a CEO resume and a board profile?

A resume sells you for an executive role, so it leads with what you ran and delivered. A board profile is read for governance and judgement, so it leads with committees, your dealings with regulators and shareholders, and the calls you owned.

How does the 10-document pack work?

You have 12 months from purchase to use all 10. Bring us a role you are applying for and we prepare the document for it.

Can the pack include board profiles and decks?

Yes. Each of the documents can be a resume, a board profile or a consulting deck.

Who sees my record?

It is used only to prepare your documents. It is not circulated to any hiring side.

Does this get me a role?

No one can promise a role, and we do not. Buying a document does not put you on a shortlist for our retained searches.
