Where India's Top Decision-Makers Show Up. And Notice Who Didn't.

Sapphire's Direct CXO Relationships
Sponsorship slots are limited and reviewed. Not every application is accepted.

Not an Event.
An Institution.

Most brands spend months trying to reach India's senior leadership. Cold emails ignored. LinkedIn requests declined. Gatekeepers doing their job.

CXO Moves is different. Sapphire Human Capital has spent 18 years building first-degree relationships with India's top CXOs through retained search. Every year, that network comes together in one room for the CXO Moves Report Launch. Sitting CEOs, CHROs, CFOs, CTOs. Personally invited. No exceptions.

The Report itself reaches 1 lakh+ senior leaders digitally and arrives as a printed coffee-table edition on boardroom desks across India. It stays there for 12 months. Your brand, alongside it.

Most events sell you a banner on a wall. We put your brand in a conversation between India's most powerful hiring decision-makers. CXO Moves is a closed, curated platform. The audience is not bought. It is earned.
6 years. Zero walk-ins. Every seat, every year, filled through personal invitation by Sapphire's senior partners. The room reflects the network. The network is the product.
Your sponsorship does not end on launch night. The report lives on CXO desks year-round. 12 months of brand exposure from a single partnership decision.

Your Buyers.
In One Place.

This is not a public event. There is no registration link. Every person in the room received a personal invitation from a Sapphire senior partner. The audience is pre-qualified by default.

80
Sitting CXOs
CEOs, CHROs, CFOs, CTOs from India's largest companies. No ex-CXOs. No consultants. Sitting, active decision-makers.
70+
Senior Leaders
VPs, Directors, Function Heads. The people who own budgets, evaluate vendors, and influence board-level decisions.
1L+
Digital Reach
The report and pre-launch campaign reaches 1 lakh+ CXOs and senior leaders across India's corporate landscape.
5000
Personal Outreach
Sapphire's senior partners personally reach India's top 5000 CXOs in the pre-launch window. Your brand is part of that message.
Think about your last 10 marketing activations. How many put you in the same room as 80 sitting CXOs, with no agenda-sellers, no trade-show noise, and a warm introduction from someone they already trust? This is not a lead generation tool. This is a positioning asset.
Your competitors are already targeting this audience. The only question is whether they meet them before you do.

Heard From Previous Partners

"One of the highest-quality CXO rooms we have been part of. The kind where conversations actually convert."
- Vishakha RM, Managing Director, South AsiaDiscovery Communications India
"One of the few rooms where conversations actually move beyond introductions. The density of decision-makers is unlike anything else on the Indian corporate calendar."
Rajendra Mehta, President & CHROWelspun India
"This is not networking. It is access to people who can say yes. The report kept our brand in front of CHROs every time they opened it. That is a 12-month return on a single decision."
Gautam C, Founding MemberIndia Diversity Forum
"Sapphire's introductions carry real weight. These are not cold handshakes. Within three weeks we were in active conversations with four CHROs we had been trying to reach for over a year."
