Rituparna Chakraborty

Rituparna Chakraborty, Executive Search, Partner.

Rituparna is a partner at True, leading the firm’s expansion in India with a focus on growth-stage companies, talent innovation, and leadership strategy across sectors. With a background in entrepreneurship, policy engagement, and workforce transformation, she brings a multifaceted view of India’s evolving business landscape.

As co-founder of TeamLease Services, Rituparna played a key role in transforming the hiring landscape in India. She scaled the company from startup to publicly listed enterprise, driving growth across staffing, skilling, employability, and compliance. Along the way, she built deep insight across sectors—technology, consumer, healthcare, education, industrials—and the evolving leadership needs within them.

Over the past two decades, she has worked at the intersection of government, business and civil society, advising founders, Fortune 500s, investors, and policymakers alike. She is known for her ability to translate complexity into insight, and for championing leadership that blends context, character, and culture.

Rituparna has been featured among Business Today’s Most Powerful Women in Business and CII’s Business Woman of the Year, among other accolades. She is a trusted voice on workplace reform and successful business leader, and believes that the best ideas often emerge outside boardrooms—over strong coffee, spirited debates, or on long walks.
