Industrial & Infrastructure

The Manufacturing sector has gained significant impetus under “Make in India” initiative of the government. The sector grew at a rate of 7.7 % in FY 2017-18. The aim to transform India into a manufacturing hub has led to global interest in setting up manufacturing units across the country to the extent that India is poised to become the 5th largest manufacturing country in the world by 2020.

Grassik’s Manufacturing Practice was initiated in 2010. It was later re-christened to Industrial & Infrastructure, given the wide portfolio of segments that Grassik caters to within the practice. We were able to attract top quality talent from the industry resulting in forging strong associations with leading Domestic and Multinational manufacturing corporations and rapid growth of the vertical. The in-depth understanding and technical expertise in the team has led to successful closures of niche and critical leadership mandates, Diversity based searches and new-age technology and data driven mandates. Additionally, we are actively engaged with organisations operating in the space of Renewable and Sustainable Energy. The sector continues to remain a vital cog in the Grassik setup.

Hospitality & Standalone F&B Service

Tourism and Hospitalty sector has been one of the most significant contributors to the Service sector in India. The sector, as a whole, has attracted Foreign investment worth US$ 10 billion since 2000. Most major hotel chains have their expansion plans lined up over the next 3 –  5 years as the Government’s E-Visa scheme shall only lead to a surge in the overall business. Record number of foreign tourist arrivals (10 million foreign tourists arrived in India in 2017-18) coupled with the ever-increasing domestic tourism and air travel is leading the uptrend in the sector. The Mid Segment Hotels have led the growth of Hotel organisations in the last decade to the extent that most major International Hotel chains have introduced their Mid-segment and budget brands in the country. Domestic players including Taj Hotels have followed suit.

Food and Beverage Service has been a burgeoning segment over the last few years. With an increase in International travel, Indian consumers have come of age and are ready to experiment with varied cuisines and flavours. F&B entrepreneurs have faster access to capital for investment and growth and hence, are able to source the best ingredients from within the country and abroad. Expat Master chefs are being hired for the first time outside of Hotels hence, creating the most authentic culinary experiences.

Grassik became the first Search Firm in India with a dedicated Hospitality Practice in 1993 and has remained the undisputed leader in this sector ever since. From being the Go To Search firm for any luxury Hotel organization, we have now created a holistic Hospitality business practice encompassing the entire gamut of Hotels (Luxury, Mid Segment and Budget) and the Food and Beverage segment. Within the F&B space, we count the best known brands across the country as our active clients most of which have come through references from existing clients, testimony to the high levels of efficacy and relevance that we continue to strive towards.
