What HCI Talks Does For You

You run companies. You don't have time for another community that demands attendance. Here's what we bring to your table — and exactly how much of your time it costs.

Core Offerings

Three Things That Actually Matter

No fluff. No mandatory events. Three high-value offerings, each with a clear time commitment.

Flagship

Boardroom Roundtables

Curated 12–15 person CXO dinner + structured discussion on a live business theme. No slides, no vendors, no juniors.

3 hours · 1 evening per quarter
Format

Invite-only dinner roundtable. Chatham House rules. Sponsor-backed (no cost to you). 4 cities — Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad.

You walk away with

3–5 new peer connections, a post-event intelligence brief, and a private WhatsApp group with attendees.

Always-on

Peer Connections

Access to a verified directory of 500+ CXOs. Request warm introductions through mutual connections. No recruiter spam, no cold DMs.

Zero commitment · use when you need it
Format

Platform-based. Browse profiles, request intros, accept/decline at your pace. 9 privacy controls — you decide who sees what.

You walk away with

The right connection when you need one — a CHRO for a hiring challenge, a CFO who's been through an IPO, a CTO who scaled the same stack.

By invitation

Exclusive Opportunities

First access to independent director positions, advisory board roles, fractional CXO mandates, and angel/co-invest opportunities surfaced through the HCI network.

5 min to review · you choose what to pursue
Format

Curated alerts matched to your profile. Only roles that match your seniority, function, and interest. No noise.

You walk away with

Career optionality that doesn't exist on LinkedIn. The board seat you didn't know was open. The advisory gig that found you.

We track and nominate you for CXO awards — ET 40 Under 40, BW HR 100, SHRM Awards, Great Manager Awards. We handle the paperwork.
Legacy Building

Give Back. Stay Sharp. Build Legacy.

Every established CXO hits a point where the next promotion isn't the goal. The question becomes: what am I building that outlasts this role?
