Executive search and leadership hiring. An eChai company.
Hummingbird Talent is an eChai Company. It is the hiring arm of eChai Ventures. When you have spent years building a founder network across 25 cities and 10 countries, you end up knowing who is building what, who is hiring, and who is good. That is what Hummingbird runs on.
Harsha Bhurani used to attend eChai events. She was working at Cadila Pharmaceuticals at the time. In 2022, she resigned and was planning to start something on her own. She called Jatin Chaudhary, eChai Co-Founder. They met half an hour before an eChai event at IIMA Ventures that evening. They talked through what she could build, where her strengths were, and what the ecosystem actually needed. Harsha went and started Hummingbird as her own company.
Harsha had spent years doing talent acquisition. She had hired across sectors, worked with founders and CXOs, and understood the full process from sourcing to onboarding. She knew what good hiring looks like because she had done a lot of it.
She kept showing up to eChai events, became a regular presence, and over time took on the leadership of eChai's Women Founders Initiative, running curated meetups, panels, and peer conversations for women founders across the network. Hummingbird and eChai were two parallel tracks in her life. The work she was doing with Hummingbird and the community she was building through eChai kept growing closer.
Eventually, in 2026, Hummingbird formally joined eChai Ventures as a boutique talent acquisition firm sitting inside a founder network that spans 25 cities and 10 countries. Harsha is CEO.
The hiring landscape is opening up. GCCs are setting up in India and looking for specific talent. Startups are building AI-native teams and need people who think that way. Companies want candidates who can work across functions and grow with the company. There is a lot of interesting hiring happening right now, and Hummingbird is in the middle of it.
If you are looking to hire high potential candidates for your company, Hummingbird Talent could be your partner for that.
