End-to-end talent acquisition — from leadership mandates to specialist roles across India
“Pragati and the i4 team are thorough professionals and have a great understanding of business. They are our preferred partners when we hire for important roles. They understand both the objective & subjective requirements of the role and usually give very apt profiles to evaluate.
Their screening and candidate briefing is quite good. Our time is well spent on the profiles typically sent by i4. And, the candidates who joined through i4 are great assets to the company.”
Pragati and Tulika’s biggest Moët is their stellar experience in fast-paced super aggressive start-ups and large-scale organizations. Being insiders, they are able to add so much more value than just their recruitment/talent acquisition prowess.
Speed with very high quality makes them a strategic partner who has a deep understanding of business, talent, and HR requirements. Having worked with several consulting partners over the past decade, I can confidently say, they are the most bankable and purpose-driven team to work with.
i4 Consulting has been great at identifying key talent for Digital Transformation of Aster DM Healthcare. They brilliantly marry our requirements to the profiles of the candidates, and their team shares honest opinions after understanding our culture and values about the fitment.
Thank you Pragati for sharing our vision of touching 20 million lives per year by handpicking exceptional talent!

Three ways we transform your campus
Recruiter pipeline activation
We bring scaling companies — startups, unicorns, and high-growth mid-market firms — directly to your campus, leveraging our live recruiter network. Not cold emails. Warm, pre-negotiated campus visits.
Student conversion workshops
High-impact workshops designed for the reality of New Age hiring: AI-era resume building, case interview prep, group discussion mastery, and offer negotiation — led by people who’ve hired at the companies your students want to join.
Long-term placement strategy
Not a one-season vendor. We embed as a placement strategy partner — tracking company growth cycles, forecasting demand, and preparing your students 6–12 months before the season opens.
