Bengaluru, Feb 12, – In a move to drive growth and scale its GCC footprint in India, Xpheno has appointed Pallavi Nanduru as Hyderabad Center Head, effective February 12, 2025.

Pallavi will lead Xpheno’s Hyderabad operations, focusing on CXO hiring for GCCs and building a scalable GCC partnership ecosystem 

“If you are in the executive search business, it’s hard to miss talent like Pallavi and her energy. Her presence in Hyderabad was an additional bonus for Xpheno, as we witnessed over 35 new greenfield GCCs making Hyderabad their home last year. Having a senior leader present in the Pearl City is a strategic Advantage and Pallavi’s addition will become a catalyst for our executive search practice in Telangana region” said Kamal Karanth, Co-founder of Xpheno.

Xpheno’s CEO-designate Francis Padamadan said the leadership migration to Hyderabad and the turnkey RPO projects influenced by GCCs expansion in Hyderabad necessitated Xpheno to hire a strong leader locally. Pallavi’s capability and credibility fits Xpheno’s ambitions to expand further.

A seasoned Executive recruiting leader, Pallavi has over 20 years of experience and specializes in CXO hiring across global markets particularly in the IT and services industry. She has done many global searches attracting leaders from GCCs and consulting industry leaders to the IT Services Industry.

Pallavi has previously worked with multinational and Indian companies such as Genpact, TritonExec, Times Group, and Mahindra Satyam. She has deep expertise and passion for building high-performing teams and delivering impactful hiring outcomes.
