CBREX orchestrates enterprise talent acquisition by digitizing and automating recruitment agency partnerships globally. It enables companies to hire niche and specialised talent at an unforeseen speed and scale, even for roles open across geographies, at benchmark-defying price points. 

Gautam is a 2X entrepreneur, having built TVA Infotech to become India's largest IT recruiting company. TVA was acquired by Allegis Global Services in 2008. He served as the CEO of the combined entity, before branching out to start CBREX in 2015. 

Divya started her career at TVA Infotech, eventually rising to become the Head of Internal Talent Acquisition at the Allegis Group. She leverages her rich experience to spearhead all product developments at CBREX.
