Executive search in Pune.
Pune is a major centre for automotive and engineering manufacturing, with industrial belts such as Chakan, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Talegaon around the city. It is also a significant IT and technology hub, and a long-established centre of education.
Manufacturing leadership here often means running a plant inside a demanding supply chain, where customers set exacting standards for quality and delivery. Technology leadership means scaling delivery while keeping a talented workforce engaged.
Vinay Pasricha.
Vinay Pasricha is the founder of GoodSpace AI, a hiring company headquartered in Noida that has served about 1,200 corporate customers over seven years across India. Its work is strongest in manufacturing and automotive, retail and FMCG, and healthcare and pharma, and its relationships run to CEO and founder, CHRO and CFO level.
For Pune, GoodSpace AI’s depth in manufacturing and automotive, one of its strongest sectors, is the most directly relevant experience.

Understanding before search. Discovery before persuasion.
A plant head is judged every shift. The search frames the plant’s current limiting factor first, whether it is quality, capacity, workforce or customer relationships, and tests candidates on how they would address it.
-
01
Frame the mandate precisely
Before anyone is approached, the mandate is stated in two plain sentences: what this leader must achieve, and what they will decide. This is the discipline set out in The SIV Method. A role that cannot be framed that plainly is not yet understood.
-
02
Understand the organisation
Every organisation has a characteristic pace, way of deciding and set of things it rewards: what Vinay calls its frequency. A capable leader at the wrong frequency looks mediocre; the fit is examined first.
-
03
Discover, do not advertise
The leaders who fit are rarely looking. The search goes to them, through discovery and relationships, instead of waiting for applications to a posting.
-
04
Validate under pressure
Candidates are tested against the real mandate, with questions drawn from the case and held under Socratic pressure rather than rehearsed answers. The assessment says what is known, what is uncertain, and with what confidence.
Behind the method is GoodSpace AI’s depth: seven years of hiring for about 1,200 corporate customers, pan-India reach, and working relationships with the CEOs, founders, CHROs and CFOs who carry leadership decisions.
This describes an approach, not a guarantee. Each engagement is shaped by the organisation and the role.
Setting the pay for a senior hire? The India Leadership Pay Benchmark puts published CEO, CFO and other CXO pay figures from named surveys side by side, with every source linked.
Begin with the mandate.
Tell Vinay about the organisation and the role you need to fill. The enquiry form is on the leadership search page.
