Professional Profile

A recruiter who knows the industry from the inside.

Amrita Beri is an independent talent acquisition consultant with a sharp eye for high-calibre professionals across marketing, creative, and operational functions. What sets her apart is the professional journey that preceded recruitment.

She built her foundation at Showhouse Events, a premier event management firm, operating at the intersection of talent, operations, and brand experience. That gave her firsthand exposure to an extraordinary cross-section of professionals. She deepened her advisory expertise during a consulting engagement with Coppergate Consultants.

Since then she has led end to end recruitment for People Design & Communications and growth-stage footwear brand Plaeto, finding talent for specialised, culturally nuanced roles that standard channels often miss.
