E-commerce & Digital

E-commerce and digital businesses typically need leaders who can build a function while it’s still being defined — there is rarely a settled playbook to inherit. ASTC recruits growth and marketing leadership, operations and fulfilment heads, and business unit leaders for e-commerce and digital-first companies operating in India’s fast-changing online retail landscape.

Because the category moves quickly, we look for candidates with a demonstrated record of adapting a strategy in real time — someone who has actually changed course in response to a shift in customer acquisition costs, a platform algorithm change, or a competitor’s pricing move, not just someone who has written a strategy deck.

Mandates here range from a first senior commercial hire for an early-stage digital business to leadership team builds for e-commerce operations scaling into new categories or geographies.
