In the US & Europe, it’s normal for a CFO to work for 3 companies at once.
A CTO to guide a startup’s tech roadmap for just 6 months.
A CHRO to fix culture without being on payroll forever.

That’s the Fractional CXO model—leadership, delivered like a service.

India is waking up to it.

• Mid-sized companies get world-class expertise without the cost of a full-time hire.
• Scaling startups get speed and focus without waiting for a permanent search to close.
• Senior leaders get variety, flexibility, and the chance to make sharper impact.

It’s a win-win—but only for those ready to let go of the “full-time only” mindset.

In the next 3–5 years, expect Fractional CFOs, CMOs, CHROs, and CTOs to become as common here as they are in the West.
And when that happens, the talent market will change forever.

What’s your take—will India embrace leadership on demand?
