About Us

Overview

We are India’s first specialised and truly independent executive compensation advisory firm. Our mission is to assist organisations in designing executive compensation programmes that seamlessly align with their long-term strategy and business goals, while creating value for all stakeholders.

Whom we work with

Nomination & Remuneration Committees (NRCs)

We provide NRCs with independent advice on matters related to executive compensation. We also conduct separate sessions to keep NRC members informed about the nuances of executive compensation and any regulatory changes that may have an impact on executive compensation decisions.

Executive Management

We co-create executive compensation proposals alongside executive management. Through our engagement with them, we gain a deep understanding of their organisation and assist them in defining comprehensive proposals for the consideration of the NRC/Board. Our approach ensures that well-informed decisions regarding executive pay are made by both management and NRCs, ultimately serving the best interests of stakeholders.

Our Approach

Contextual

Although we take market practices into account to gain insights from other leading organisations, we firmly believe that the success of an executive compensation programme strongly depends on how well it aligns with the organisation’s unique context and overall leadership strategy.

Research-oriented

When providing market insights to our clients, our primary focus is on understanding the context in which executive compensation decisions are made in competitive organisations. This helps us avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and empowers our clients to make better, more informed decisions regarding their executive compensation programmes.

Conflict-free

We specialise exclusively in executive compensation advisory services; we do not offer any other services. This commitment ensures that we remain conflict-free and provide unbiased solutions to our clients.
