Shukla,
Connecting you with Chandra who is the co-founder of Utkarsh HR consulting – they are the
company who have helped us recruit Shyam, Babu (The Home Salon Bus Mgr) and many more. Had
connected him earlier with Vishal and he has also found some resources through Chandra for his
other portfolio companies.
Chandra – Rajev is based in Singapore and is deeply involved with a clutch of Everstone companies

conversation and very sharp in understanding the need of client, I am very happy with his efforts to

Hi Chandra and team,
I had a very unique and incredible experience with Schatz consulting, a executing search company,
during my last engagement with you. The thorough understanding and analysis of what the company
is looking for and what individuals aspirations are is really helped me in making the carrier move. I
think the rigour on ‘sense of accountability and freedom for prioritization’ was clearly evident during
my meeting with various senior folks of the organisation which was validated throughout my
experience with the organisation. This was very important and helped me gauge the cultural fitment
and align my abilities with the organisations culture and priorities.
I wish the Schatz team all the very best !!
Mallikarjun Patil

Rajiv & I came in contact with each other in Feb 16. He approached me for an opening with YLG. At
that time I didn't know any thing about YLG.
Rajiv was really help full in making me understood as to what business the company is in, what is the
role & the growth path.
The most remarkable thing about Rajiv as a recruiter is that he knows what he has to offer & what
he is looking for.
All the best.
Shyam Kanwar

Rajiv is one of the finest leadership consultants I have come across. He did a great job in analyzing
my requirements, and then lining up the right opportunity. He offered great insights during the
hiring process, and was very prompt in handling my queries. He is very sharp & extremely

knowledgeable. Above all, he is a great person to work with. I would strongly recommend Rajiv for
his work.

me, coordinated the entire activity of meeting client and lastly ensuring smooth landing on the new
assignment. Infact through out the journey Uday had been extremely personal , even extending his
hand in relocating to new house etc. I have also given assignments to source senior level personnel in
our organization and found Uday’s understanding of the organization need and culture is extremely
helpful. Wish Uday and his colleagues all the best in their endeavours. Thanks”
