Our Story
-
Founded in 2021 by Priyadarshini Abraham, Meraki People was built on over two and a half decades of her experience in executive search within the consumer and retail sectors. Over the years, she built trusted partnerships with organisations onboarding leaders who could scale, transform, and sustain growth. Vimal Abraham came on board to expand focus into the digital and industrial segments. Together, they set out to reimagine leadership search — combining the intuition and experience of seasoned partners with the clarity and rigour of data-driven insight. We believe leadership decisions should be bias-free, context-aware, and anchored in purpose; our approach blends human judgement with analytical depth to help organisations spot leaders who not only fit the role, but elevate it.
