Global executive search firm Horton International has formally launched in India.

The company has also unveiled plans to rapidly scale up operations in the Indian market by opening up four more local offices in the next two years in addition to its head office in Mumbai.

Horton International made a soft re-entry into the country in 2009, associating with Zodiaac Executive Search, a local search firm owned by Deependra (Dipy) Nigam.

Nigam has been appointed managing partner for Horton International India. With 20 years’ experience in executive search and HR consulting, before starting Zodiaac Executive Search, Nigam worked with Hay Management Consultants (Hay Group) and MRI/ISearch worldwide.
