What HeadSpace HR does

HeadSpace HR is a New Delhi-headquartered talent advisory firm operating as a private limited company in India. Founded in 2018, it delivers four service pillars: Executive Search & Assessment (operated through the theXcircle sub-brand), Performance Leadership Recruitment, Talent & Team-Build Solutions, and HR Consulting. The firm is led by three Principal Founders—Deepak Rathi, Sudeep Chakraborty, and Pinaki Bagchi—who together claim more than 250 years of HR and executive search experience. The firm positions itself across a broad client mix that includes Indian corporates, multinational subsidiaries, SMEs, startups, social sector organizations, and family businesses, with claimed coverage extending into international markets including the EU, Australia, and the UAE.

The business model is service-based and consultant-led, with no disclosed proprietary technology platform or AI tooling. Revenue is generated through retained executive search mandates, contingency and leadership hiring assignments, team-build projects, and HR consulting engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm claims more than 5,000 cumulative hires across its operating history and operates from multiple Indian cities. Delivery depends on practitioner networks, proprietary assessment frameworks, and senior-level relationships, with international mandates fulfilled via founder and consultant networks rather than wholly-owned foreign offices. There is no disclosed funding, no revenue disclosure, and no headcount growth data available.
