Our Story

Building India's Most Trusted CXO Platform

India's senior-most executives had no dedicated platform for peer intelligence, competitive analysis, and board-level opportunities. HCI Talks was built to change that — one verified CXO at a time.

The Vision

Three Pillars. One Platform. Built for the C-Suite.

HCI Talks unifies a verified peer community, CXO-grade competitive intelligence, and confidential executive search into one ecosystem — where every interaction strengthens the network.

CXOs join a trusted, sponsor-supported community. Revenue comes from corporates seeking executive insight — not from the executives themselves.

The Mandate

No One Has Built This for India.

Global platforms offer fragments of what CXOs need — community without intelligence, data without exclusivity. None combine all three into one integrated platform purpose-built for Indian market conditions.

That is the leadership position HCI Talks is building. India first. Built by executives, for executives.

Founder

Bhaskar Anand

Founder & CEO, HCI Talks & Talpro

With over 15 years in executive search and HR technology, Bhaskar Anand identified a critical gap: India's most senior leaders had no dedicated platform for peer intelligence, competitive analysis, and board-level career opportunities.

HCI Talks was born from that insight — combining the trust of a verified CXO community with the intelligence capabilities of HCI Intel and the confidentiality of Talpro executive search. The result is India's first integrated CXO ecosystem.
