Rohini Seth to Lead Alcott Global’s India Expansion: Elevating Business Value Chain Leadership

India’s position in the global economy is changing fast. No longer just a hub for tech and services, it’s now taking center stage in supply chain and manufacturing. With this shift, Alcott Global has named Rohini Seth as its new Managing Director for India, a move that deepens the firm's local presence and supports companies looking to scale leadership and execution across the value chain.

Seth brings a track record of over 25 years with companies like Unilever, GE, PepsiCo, and Diageo. Her expertise spans global HR leadership, business transformation, and talent strategy. At Alcott Global, she’s focused on one thing: helping Indian companies access and grow the leadership they need to stay competitive locally and globally.

Finding the "Ikigai" in Executive Search

Seth calls executive search her Ikigai, a Japanese term for purpose. After years leading HR at global firms, she now channels that experience into helping companies find and grow leadership that fits.

“Every search is about connecting people and businesses in a meaningful way. It’s not just matching resumes to roles,” says Seth. “India’s moment on the global stage demands leaders who understand scale, complexity, and transformation.”

It’s a role that blends purpose with precision, connecting India's leadership potential with the demands of a fast-changing global landscape.

India’s Growth Story and the Vision Ahead

India’s rise on the global stage is entering a new phase. While the country has long led in services and digital transformation, national initiatives like Make in India are now accelerating growth across critical industries, including:

• Precision Manufacturing

• Semiconductors

• Med-Tech

• Energy Transition

Seth sees this momentum reshaping the next decade of global supply chains.

“What sets India apart is its ability to deliver both at scale and with quality,” she says. “Add the local talent pool and a resilient mindset, and you have the ingredients to lead globally.”

Her ambition is to place Alcott Global India in the top 5 percentile of business-talent partners, known for reliability, precision, and long-term value.

“In a market where speed and price often dominate, we’re building a brand clients return to because they know it gets done right,” she adds.

From Resilience to Global Relevance

Indian leaders are known for agility, always ready with a Plan A, B, and C. That helped companies survive the shocks of the past few years. Now, the challenge is moving from reactive to proactive: building systems, scaling innovation, and developing the kind of leadership that lasts.

“We’re not just seeing Indian companies catch up,” Seth notes. “We’re seeing them set the pace.”

And as the pace quickens, Alcott Global is helping Indian businesses lead it with the right people in the right roles, ready for what’s next.

A Platform Strategy for Impact

Seth is building a bridge “from India to the world” through Alcott Global’s connected platforms:

• Makers & Movers: An invite-only event series for C-level leaders. The goal? Put Indian voices in global rooms where real decisions happen.

• Leaders in Supply Chain Podcast: Over 200 global executives have been featured. Seth plans to amplify India’s voices: CSCOs, CEOs, and change-makers.

• Supplify: A marketplace connecting enterprises with tech startups. For India, this is a way to showcase automation, AI, and ESG solutions on the global stage.

• From Source to Sold: The best-selling supply chain leadership book includes Indian leaders like Vikram Agarwal and Deepak Garg. Seth sees it as a playbook for local professionals aiming for global roles.

• Top 30 Leaders in Supply Chain Awards: Seth is working to increase nominations from India, highlighting the innovation and execution already happening across the region.

Together, these platforms serve as levers for visibility, influence, and strategic partnerships across the global supply chain space.
