Sanjay Sharma saw the need for a dedicated, professional recruitment service back in 2006. His passions to connect people and to make a difference to their work and life propelled him to turn his entrepreneurial drive into Chatak HR Services.

In the journey spanning a decade, Sanjay’s only goal has been to nurture long-term relationships. His focus is on engaging top clients, leadership people and to go on to provide them cutting-edge consulting /recruitment services. He does this through a team of executive search consultants, each of whom is aligned to the business goals of clients.

In his 16 years of experience, Sanjay has worked with well-known names that include Wyeth (now Pfizer) and Chiron Vaccines where he held the sales and alliance management positions. His impressive track record also includes managing financial consulting firms like PWC, KPMG, E&Y and Deloitte as a partner with executive search companies. Besides these, Sanjay has deep knowledge and experience in the fields of telecommunications, retail, IT, financial services, pharmaceutical and biotech, and several start-ups, building for himself a reputation as a committed consultant and executive search expert.

He is also a certified coach and NLP practitioner, and he brings the rich experience there to help others around him.

Outside of his work, Sanjay devotes his time to his family, spending time with his wife, children, parents, grandparents and his community. He invests his spare time with spiritual organisations, NGOs and Organic Farming start-ups. An avid yoga practitioner, voracious reader (of human psychology, autobiographies, emotional intelligence, etc.), a table tennis player … Sanjay has many aces up his sleeve and he brings this wholeness to his work.
