True, the only tech and data-first global executive talent platform, today announced its office expansion into India with the joining of new partner Rituparna Chakraborty. This move marks a significant milestone for True as they continue to scale their APAC capabilities. India represents both a market of opportunity and a source of world-class leadership talent; Rituparna will help play a defining role in the region’s next leadership chapter.
A pioneering force in India’s staffing and employment landscape, Rituparna co-founded TeamLease Services and played a central role in scaling it into one of the country’s largest publicly listed HR services companies. Over the past two decades, she has worked at the intersection of government, business and civil society–advising founders, Fortune 500s, investors, and policymakers–building a track record of business growth, leadership advisory, and policy engagement.
“Rituparna brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial drive, policy fluency, and extensive knowledge of India’s talent ecosystem,” said Sam McGrath, GM EMEA & APAC. “Her expertise is key to True’s global vision and our commitment to empower the next generation of leaders emerging from high-growth markets. With India rising as a global hub for innovation and digital transformation, we’re thrilled to have Rituparna leading our efforts.”
Based in Bangalore, Rituparna will lead the firm’s India presence, leveraging True’s platform to support Indian companies expanding internationally, multinationals investing in India’s talent industry, and Indian leaders ready to operate on a world stage. She will collaborate with True’s partners globally to bring opportunities to current and emerging clients.
“This isn’t just a new beginning, it’s a blank canvas,” said Rituparna Chakraborty. “India deserves a new narrative when it comes to leadership capital, and I believe True offers the right mix of values, capabilities and vision to help shape that. There’s immense opportunity to reimagine what executive talent means in this market, and I’m excited to build, localize and elevate.”
