Nothing inventedevery claim comes from your record, and is yours to defend

The same career

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

A general CV describes a job. A reader deciding on a seat wants to know what you did in it. Here is one CTO, on the same facts, told both ways.

The opening

A general CVTechnology leader with over 20 years of experience across cloud, microservices, AI/ML and DevOps.

Written for this seat

CTO who runs a lending platform for 28 million users and grew its engineering team from 80 to 450.

The reader knows the size of the seat from one line.

The work

A general CVResponsible for architecture, engineering, DevOps, security and data platforms.

Written for this seat

Moved the lending platform to a new architecture over 26 months, with no customer-visible outage.

The reader can see what changed, and what it cost the business.

The board

A general CVPresented technology updates to the Board and its committees.

Written for this seat

Presented to the IT Strategy Committee every quarter from 2016 to 2020. No adverse inspection finding in four years.

The reader can see how far the board and the regulator trusted the systems.

One career. Four CTO mandates. Four different pages.

The record stays the same. The person reading it does not, and neither does what they look for first. Choose a reader, and watch the page change.

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 CTO practice, led by Anandh Shanmugaraj, has made 110+ CTO and VP Engineering 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 CTO resume include?

A CTO resume should open with a line written for the seat you want, then lead with what that reader looks for first: the scale of the platform, what changed in reliability, cost and release speed, the teams you built, and the decisions you refused. Lists of tools step back. A founder and a bank’s IT Strategy Committee read the same career differently.

How much does a CTO 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 CTO 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.

One career, read by very different people.

₹30,000 a document, or ₹75,000 for 10, plus GST.
