The specialisations inside this hub
Managing Partners, Senior Partners and the Specialist Advisory Directors serving private equity, boards and executive teams. The Sub-Groups below separate the advisory careers that are different jobs within Advisory: sector and deal advisory, value creation, transformation advisory, and executive and board advisory.
52
Transformation Advisory
Transformation partners and consulting directors leading operational, digital and organisational programmes.
45
Executive & Board Advisory
Board advisers, executive advisers and committee advisers across functions and sectors.
34
Sector & Deal Advisory
Managing Partners in sector advisory, transaction diligence and capital markets across industries.
25
Value Creation
Value creation partners serving private equity portfolios across technology, healthcare and industrials.
A mandate may sit in more than one specialisation, and frequently does — a finance chief running a carve-out is both an M&A seat and a controllership seat — so these counts sum to more than the hub. That is the corpus being honest rather than the arithmetic being wrong: filing each seat under exactly one discipline would mean choosing for the reader which half of the job matters.
What a free account opens, and what Foresight adds
Reading is free here, and that is not a trial — every one of these 793 briefs opens in full without paying. What a membership buys is the ability to act on them at volume, to reach the ones outside India, and to be found by them while you are working.

Counted against the 793 open advisory & consulting mandates on this page — 268 in India, 525 elsewhere. Prices are annual and all-inclusive, with GST already inside the figure shown; quarterly terms exist at a smaller allowance. Nothing on this page is behind any of them.
Why these seats are open

Every mandate on the Terminal is filed with the reason it exists, which is the column no job board carries. An urgent seat is filled in weeks and is lost to timing; a planned one is briefed quietly months ahead and is lost to invisibility. The two reward opposite behaviours, and neither rewards checking a page once a week.
Closing soonest
274 of these mandates carry a published deadline, and 0 of those fall inside the next fortnight.

Lines named on fewer than four mandates are not shown — the tail is long by design, because a real board writes the structure it has rather than choosing from a menu.

Nothing here was scraped. No row was lifted from another site, aggregated from a careers page or bought from a feed — which matters more than it sounds, because an aggregated corpus is how a candidate ends up applying to a seat that closed in March through a firm that never held the mandate. Every brief has a named person behind it who can answer a question about it.
What these seats pay
₹3.0 crore
median stated range, from 56 mandates that publish one
The Terminal takes pay from the mandates themselves — the ranges boards actually briefed, not a survey of what people say they earn. That makes the figures honest and it makes them uneven, and where the sample is too thin to support a median this page shows none. A pay figure derived from one or two seats is that seat wearing the authority of a statistic.

793 open. 99 urgent.
Reading costs nothing and always will. What a membership buys is the agent that watches while you work, the throughput to act on what it finds, and the right to pursue the seats outside India as well as read them.
