Leveraging our expert sourcing skills, our team found a perfect match for the role—and did so all within a 60-day timeframe.
With headquarters in Bangalore and a workforce in excess of 3,000 people worldwide, our client is a global IT services firm delivering business intelligence and analytics, application development and management, testing platforms and solutions, and more.

Acara partnered with this client in December 2017. Since then, Acara has helped them close two executive-level positions and three mid-level positions. When the client needed to fill the very important position of Platformation Head—a position that required 20+ years of IT/consulting experience—Acara found the perfect incumbent. This person would spearhead the client’s suite of digital platforms with end-to-end platform solutions.
An international IT services company needed to digitize its strategies, so it developed an online platform that connected IT services providers with consumers. Once the platform was built, though, the company needed an experienced IT professional to lead its rollout.
In this era of digital disruption, digitalizing organizations is a complex process. The ever-increasing pressure to adopt digital strategies means businesses need to answer three critical questions:
Amid the disruption, our client came up with an innovative concept of “Platformation”: the platform-based interaction between external producers and consumers in the digital ecosystem. Platformation would allow for open standards, data-driven intelligence, scalability, and a partner-based ecosystem. But, to ensure the service was tested and ready for rollout, they needed a highly qualified individual to lead the implementation effort—a savvy leader who would sit just one rung below the CEO. That’s where Acara came in.
