At the Gemini Circle office of Antal, Chennai we hire premium business-critical talent in a wide variety of roles, for a broad spectrum of Technology clients, as well as for companies in the Banking, Financial Services, Insurance (BFSI) and Healthcare (HC) sectors.

Our clientele includes Software Products organisations (start-ups / scale-ups as well as tenured), especially BankTech, FinTech, InsurTech, HealthTech and EdTech companies. It also includes deep-tech and Digital solutions companies, global IT Services / Systems Integration companies and providers of critical IT Infrastructure and Cloud solutions.

We hire for lateral, mid-senior, senior and leadership levels, for all technical roles and an assortment of non-technical ones.

More importantly, our clients often see us as a sounding board and strategic contributor to their business strategy, technology roadmap, organisational design and allied areas, transcending our role as their hiring partners. Our candidates make glowing references of us, for facilitating fulfilment of career aspirations and growth.

Ramkumar Narayanan (Ram) had 20+ years’ work experience across multiple roles in business and technology, especially in the BFSI and Healthcare domains, prior to joining Antal in Feb 2019. Suffices to say that, in his previous experience, Ram would have worked as or hired for most of the roles that his office keeps sourcing for our clients!!
Ram has done his full-time MBA from an IIM and has also picked up domain and technology delivery related certifications like PMP, ITIL v3 (Foundation), LOMA Level 1 (Insurance) and Certified Health IT Professional, along the way.
Equally importantly, Ram (believes he) has the ability to connect the (right) dots, to demystify complex concepts and to manage with humour. He is a firm believer in the (purportedly) Einsteinian quote, “If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t know it yourself.”

Country / Regional Legal leadership plays a crucial role, across revenue enablement, costs optimisation and GRC (Governance, Risks and Compliance), for global and multinational companies. One such role that we worked on which had a curious mix of the local (legal and regulatory systems) and the global (from help structure contacts with sales in home country and deliver offshore – and vice versa – to expertise in M&A and other such corporate actions) in China, for our top tier IT Services & SI client gave us one more opportunity to showcase our depth and expertise in headhunting for bespoke, multi-faceted roles.
