March, 2026

Press Releases

PUNE, INDIA (March 31, 2026) – Leading talent advisory firm DHR Global announced today that Harsh Bhavve has joined the firm as Partner in the Industrial Practice Group. Based in Pune, India, Bhavve strengthens DHR’s presence in India and supports continued growth across the region.

Bhavve brings more than 24 years of experience in executive search, leadership hiring, and organizational strategy. He advises organizations on building leadership teams, navigating growth, and aligning talent with evolving business priorities across industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Before joining DHR, Bhavve was a Partner at an executive search and leadership consulting firm. He previously spent more than 16 years as Business Director at one of India’s premier executive search firms with global reach.

Earlier in his career, Bhavve held leadership roles within an HR consulting and staffing firm and an executive search and talent advisory firm, developing deep expertise in leadership assessment, succession planning, and market intelligence.

“Industrial businesses today are operating in a far more dynamic environment than even five years ago,” Bhavve said. “Leadership decisions carry greater weight because they directly influence how organizations respond to supply chain shifts, digital adoption, and evolving workforce expectations. I’ve always approached search as a long-term partnership, helping clients think through not just who to hire, but how that leader will shape the trajectory of the business.

“I’m excited to build on that work with DHR in Pune, where we have a real opportunity to deepen relationships with industrial businesses and support the next generation of leadership across the region.”

Bhavve earned a Ph.D. in management sciences (human resources) from Savitribai Phule Pune University, a Master of Business Administration in marketing from the University of Pune, and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Maharashtra Institute of Technology.
