James Caan Visits India to Empower Next-Generation Recruitment Entrepreneurs
Vizag, India, September 2024 — James Caan CBE, Founder and Chairman of Recruitment Entrepreneur (RE), recently visited India to connect with the next generation of ambitious recruitment entrepreneurs looking to launch and scale their own businesses. Through his Pitch the Dragon event, Caan engaged with numerous talented recruitment professionals seeking investment, guidance, and support in building successful recruitment firms.
India's recruitment industry is rapidly evolving, with the market projected to grow significantly in 2024, driven by increased demand for skilled professionals across sectors such as IT, healthcare, engineering, and BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance). The sector is expected to reach new heights, presenting a wealth of opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs who can bring innovative, tailored recruitment solutions to the market.
Strengthening Ties with Local Teams and Partners
During his visit, James Caan also met with the newly formed RE India team, local partner TEKWISSEN®, and key joint ventures, including TCQ Consulting and the soon-to-launch Talent Factree. These meetings underscored RE’s commitment to expanding its footprint in India and supporting local recruitment talent.
TEKWISSEN®, a global specialist in recruitment and IT services, plays a critical role as a local partner, bringing invaluable on-the-ground expertise. Rajeev Senta, Managing Director of TEKWISSEN®, stated, “This collaboration with RE allows us to combine our local knowledge with world-class standards. Together, we’re equipped to meet the unique challenges of the Indian market and set a new benchmark for recruitment excellence.”
Celebrating Joint Ventures: TCQ Consulting and Talent Factree
The visit also provided an opportunity for James to spend quality time with RE India’s joint ventures. TCQ Consulting, which launched earlier in September, is led by Ashish Jhunjhunwala, an industry veteran with over 20 years of executive search experience. Asish and his team are poised to transform talent acquisition standards in India, supported by RE’s global expertise.

Founder Joshua expressed his enthusiasm: “Having RE and James Caan in our corner is invaluable. We’re ready to scale rapidly and bring unmatched recruitment solutions to the market.”
Ranjith Doshi, Country Manager for RE business in India, emphasized the impact of Caan’s visit: “James’ visit to India is more than just a milestone for RE—it’s a testament to our commitment to nurturing local talent and building a sustainable ecosystem for recruitment entrepreneurs in India.
