Services-on-tap allows deployment, management and operation of one-or-many business processes across an enterprise with the highest service quality level at the lowest possible cost when needed, where needed. e4e's outsourced services encompass both business process and engineering services, offered as specific solutions.

Somshankar Das, the President, CEO and co-founder of e4e, has had a long working relationship with Anu Parthasarathy, the CEO and founder of Global Executive Talent.

Before starting Global Executive Talent, as the Vice President HR at e4e, Anu focused on helping find senior executive talent for e4e group companies including Aztec, iSeva, iCelerate, Vinciti and Vigyanix. Apart from these roles played in establishing and strengthening management teams of portfolio companies, other responsibilities included building group company iSeva which is e4e's organization for the Financial Services business. Anu also assisted e4e in evaluating investment opportunities in the IT/IT enabled services sector out of India. Additionally, she was actively involved in business development efforts at e4e to establish OEM / Channel partners for e4e group companies.

Anu continues to be closely associated with e4e, including helping them fill some key senior management positions at e4e and its group companies through GET's services.

Som talks about his experience in working closely with Anu over these years:

Somshankar Das, President, CEO and co-founder, e4e

I have had a long and positive working relationship with Anu most of which was when she was with us at e4e. I believe senior executive search comes very naturally to Anu - she is a born network builder with a good sense for people. This sensitivity helps her understand the needs of people, connect with them instantly and find right fits for them in their careers.

Anu knows our business very well - the business of offshore services. Her complete familiarity with and ease of navigating the "India-US corridor" is truly valuable to us. Although she has had some experience in the US market, her experience of the Indian market is recent enough that she is still in tune with both geographies and she remains current with both ends with the GET business model.

Anu has a deep understanding of the business environments of both India and the US, and most importantly, she knows what it takes for executives to move from the US to India - a profile we always look for in our senior management positions in India.

I go to Anu for our senior executive needs for e4e and group companies. Our alternatives earlier were to tap into our own network, which many a times is quite limited for many of the positions we are looking for, and pure US based executive search firms and other big players just do not work, since their understanding of the Indian market is quite inadequate.

Currently at e4e, our unique challenges, unlike most other India-based services companies, are two-fold.

One, we have a substantial percentage of our team outside of India and the US. Therefore, we need a truly "global" head of delivery not just an "India" head. This person would need to be comfortable running a delivery organization spread literally across the world, panning not just two but several cultures, languages, working styles and time zones.

Second, our services pan technology as well as business processes - clearly, there aren't too many senior executives in the market who understand both the technology services industry as well as the comparatively nascent business process services industry.

Anu is helping us with these and other unique challenges in putting our global executive team together, and working with her I am very confident she will get us the set of candidates and profiles our business needs.
