Key questions

What do I pay today, and what renews?

All figures are exact INR prices before GST. Payable today covers the package and the first year of hosting: ₹63,000 for Advantage, ₹1,05,000 for Signature and ₹3,60,000 for Royale, plus 18% GST.

These prices apply to orders paid by 30 November 2026. From 1 December 2026, checkout charges ₹1,26,000, ₹2,10,000 and ₹7,20,000.

Hosting renews yearly from the date your site first goes live, at the rate on your order: today ₹18,000 on Advantage, ₹30,000 on Signature and ₹60,000 on Royale, each plus GST. Royale also renews its managed service at ₹3,00,000 + GST per year. Nothing renews automatically: renewal opens in your studio 60 days before the date.

How long does it take?

The target is a personalised private preview within two hours of verified payment and submission of a complete profile, including your portrait and career evidence. The platform generates the preview automatically when you submit these details. You review and approve the content before publication. Revision rounds, custom-domain connection and your package services follow on a timetable agreed with you at onboarding.

What do you need from me?

A leadership photograph, headline, biography, expertise, career history, leadership case study, philosophy and a public contact channel. Buyers with an existing website account can start with their saved profile. Add the remaining fields in your private studio; we can start your profile from your CV. Your CV remains in your account; it is not published automatically.

If you are using a domain you own, we also need delegate access or the DNS records added, as described below.

Will a website get me a board seat or an interview?

No. A website presents your record clearly; interviews, nominations and appointments are decided by others, and we do not promise search rankings. What it can do is make the evidence easy to find and read when someone looks you up.

About the service

A senior leader's record is usually told by others: a company announcement, a search firm's summary, a profile shaped by a platform's format. An executive website puts it in one place, in your words, arranged the way a board, an investor or a search consultant reads a candidate: scope first, then decisions, then evidence.

The Leadership Narrative is provided by Gladwin International, an executive search and leadership advisory firm headquartered in Electronic City, Bengaluru. This page explains what the service delivers, who it is for, and how to judge the work before paying.

What the service delivers

A personal website on your own domain, built from the profile you complete and revised with you until you approve it, together with a review of your LinkedIn profile so the two tell the same story. We host and look after the site afterwards. We work online, in English, with leaders in India and other markets.

There are three packages. Advantage is a complete executive site; Signature adds a journal you publish to and preparation for a career move; Royale adds a year-round managed service. The package guide compares them and walks through buying, step by step, with the terms, renewals and current prices.

Who it is for

The service is for chief executives and the rest of the C-suite (CFO, COO, CIO, CTO, CMO, CHRO, CPO, CDO and CSO), and for senior executives preparing for independent-director or advisory roles. "Board-ready" describes that audience; a website does not make anyone board-ready, and nobody is interviewed, nominated or appointed because of one.

Each role reads differently. A CFO is judged on capital, controls and reporting; a CHRO on organisation and succession. The role guides explain what that means for the site, starting with CFO websites and CEO websites.

Why an executive search firm builds these sites

Gladwin International's core work is assessing senior candidates for clients. That work shapes how each site is organised: the scale of what you ran, the decisions that were yours, the evidence a reader can check, and the governance exposure a nomination committee asks about. It also shapes what is left out, such as confidential client figures and claims you cannot support.

The practice is led by Anandh Shanmugaraj, Founder, Managing Director and CEO of Gladwin International. The designs are built and maintained by Gladwin's own team. You complete your profile in a private studio, and we can start it from your CV; your website is generated from that profile, and our team reviews it and advises you through the revision rounds. The LinkedIn review and positioning statement are written by our team with you.

How to judge the work before you pay

  • Open any of the 300 designs. Each is a complete working website for a fictional leader, with a role, a sector and a career written for it.
  • Switch the role and the market on a design to see how the same layout carries a different record.
  • Look at one in your own function and sector, for example CFO websites in banking and financial services.
  • Open the demonstrations on your phone; most first visits to an executive site come from a link shared on mobile.
  • Read the package guide for what each plan excludes as well as what it includes.

The demonstrations are fictional and labelled as such. They show the output; they are not client work.

More questions

Which platforms and markets is The Leadership Narrative for?

The Leadership Narrative is a shared global initiative for India ID Exchange, Global ID Exchange, India Board Terminal and Global Board Exchange. Members and non-members can choose the same designs and packages.

Browse fictional leadership showcases from Europe, India, China, Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia and Singapore / Southeast Asia. Every design can be used in any market; the showcase location is inspiration, not a restriction. Websites currently use English. USD is the global display reference; choose a pricing location to see local estimates with USD equivalents. All payments are charged in INR, with hosting and GST shown separately. The dated reference rates are shown beside the pricing-location selector.

I already own a domain, for example at GoDaddy. Can my website use it?

Yes. The domain stays registered to you, at the registrar where you bought it. Nothing is bought again and nothing is transferred to us. We point the domain at your new website.

If you own more than one domain, choose the one closest to your full name as the main address, so clients, boards and search partners can find you easily. The others forward to it, so every address reaches the same site.

How do you connect a domain registered at GoDaddy on my behalf?

You never share your GoDaddy password with us. There are two ways to do it, and you choose.

  1. Delegate access. In your GoDaddy account, open Account Settings, then Delegate Access, and invite us with an access level that covers your domains. We make the changes, and you can remove our access at any time.
  2. Or enter two records yourself. We send you the DNS records for your domain, and you add them in GoDaddy's DNS settings. It takes about ten minutes, and we check them from our side.
  3. We then switch on the SSL certificate so your site opens securely (https), and set your other domains to forward to the main one.
If I already own the domain, do I still pay for hosting?

Yes, on every package. The domain is only the address. Hosting is the server your website runs on, its SSL certificate and its upkeep, which we set up and maintain. Owning the domain means we don't need to buy one for you. Hosting is billed annually, at today's rates ₹18,000 on Advantage, ₹30,000 on Signature and ₹60,000 on Royale, plus GST.

Royale includes managed executive branding. Its hosting is charged separately from the annual service fee.

Can I see sample websites before I choose?

Yes. There are 100 selectable designs in each package (10 layouts, each in 10 palettes): 300 in total. Each can be previewed for all ten leadership roles. Open the full website to explore its pages before selecting it.

Every package includes substantial profile, expertise, career, case-study and contact pages. Signature adds an insights journal; Royale adds speaking and media alongside the managed brand service. Preview identities and content are fictional.

What do a positioning statement and a LinkedIn review contain?

Our team writes, with you, a statement of what you want to be known for, for which audiences and why now: your leadership thesis and the narrative behind it. It is used across your website and LinkedIn.

Our team reviews your headline, About section, experience entries and Featured section against your positioning, and gives you rewritten text for each, so your LinkedIn profile and website tell the same story. You make the changes in your own account.

Both are included in every package.

What does the executive branding in Royale cover?

Advantage and Signature give you a website. Royale also develops your executive presence for boards, clients, investors and industry audiences, all year. It covers:

  1. Everything in Signature: your domain and a multi-page website with a blog. Hosting is charged separately.
  2. Dedicated management of your executive brand: one consistent positioning across your website and LinkedIn, kept current as your leadership story develops.
  3. Subject-matter articles in your field and in your name, drafted with you and published on your website after you approve them.
  4. An active LinkedIn presence: we write posts and profile changes around your expertise and the audiences you want to reach; you publish them yourself, or approve and schedule them. Your LinkedIn login stays with you.
  5. A written editorial and outreach plan agreed at onboarding, with a monthly report. The website includes a leadership journal, full-length essays and a speaking and media page.
Is a personal website worth it for a CEO or CFO?

It is most useful for leaders who are, or soon will be, assessed by boards, investors or search consultants, because it is the one place the record is set out in full and in the leader's own words. It complements a LinkedIn profile rather than replacing it.

Are the leaders on the demonstration websites real people?

No. Every demonstration leader, company, portrait and story is fictional and labelled as such. They show what a finished site looks like; your own site carries only the facts you provide and approve.

Your story, expertise and achievements, presented in your own words. All showcase identities, portraits and career stories are fictional; your published website uses your approved information.
