Here’s to leaders who dare to dream,
Teams who choose collaboration over competition,
And organisations that build legacies beyond the bottom line.

Let’s not just lead India into the future, let’s lead the future from India.

"Your C-Suite Title Might Survive 2030. Your Job Description Won’t."

How AI is rewriting the rules of Leadership and why boards need future-ready Leaders now.

AI isn’t just another technology trend, it’s a power shift in the boardroom.

By 2030, many C-Suite titles will remain the same… but the skills, priorities and decision-making frameworks behind them will be transformed.

With 47% of senior Indian executives still at beginner-level AI literacy (Instahyre), the leadership gap is real, and it’s slowing down transformation.

For some, this means obsolescence. For others, it’s the biggest Leadership opportunity of the decade.

At Wits Acumen, we’ve spent over a decade helping boards and CHROs hire Leaders who don’t just fit today’s job; they’re ready for tomorrow’s business reality.

While India debates AI stealing jobs, 29 million roles lie vacant.

The real issue? A broken talent pipeline and a Leadership lens that still hires for degrees, not capability.

🔹 Why the AI talent gap is widening
🔹 How CXOs and CHROs are overlooking real solutions
🔹 What industries must do to co-create capability
🔹 How Wits Acumen helps hire future-ready Leaders who get it

FMCG in India is facing a boardroom churn, and no one's really talking about why.

In the last 60 days, we’ve seen major exits and reshuffles across legacy giants and emerging players. Tenures are shrinking. Interim Leaders are stepping in. External hires are rushing in without alignment.

But the deeper issue isn’t about hiring fast.

It’s about hiring right, for the business model today, not the brand legacy of yesterday.

At Wits Acumen, here’s our take:
“Boards must stop hiring from marketing until they fix their books.”

It’s a controversial opinion, but we’re seeing the CFO-CEO disconnect derail ex*****on far too often.

As growth slows, boards need Leaders who can manage both: profit & pace.

In our latest carousel, we break down:

- What’s happening in FMCG right now
- The real risk behind C-suite churn
- What smart boards and CXOs must do now
- Why financial alignment at the top is no longer optional

If you're a Business Leader, CHRO, or aspiring CXO, this is your signal.

Swipe the carousel. Reflect. Rethink succession.

CFOs are stepping up. Pedigrees are stepping back.

When Nik Jhangiani, a long-serving CFO, is named interim CEO at Diageo, and global search firms bet on hyper-local Leaders like Rituparna Chakraborty, it signals something deeper.

Cost discipline is now the Leadership currency.

B-school labels aren’t enough.

Real operators are winning boardroom trust.

At Wits Acumen, we believe India’s Leadership hiring playbook is being rewritten, by performance, not prestige.

India’s executive hiring is gearing up for its most defining year yet.

According to Randstad India, FY26 will see a 30–35% surge in CXO hiring, especially in Digital, GCCs, BFSI, Manufacturing, and Energy sectors.

Why? Because India Inc. is prioritizing transformation-ready leaders, those fluent in AI, digital ecosystems, and uncertainty.
