The team.
Nearly three centuries, combined.

Anil Gupta founded Reiwa after more than four decades at the interface of Japanese and Indian business. He holds a B.Tech from IIT Delhi, completed intensive Japanese-language study at International Christian University in Tokyo, and undertook postgraduate research in computer science at the University of Tsukuba. He is fluent in English and Japanese.

Across thirty-plus years in senior management, Anil served as Vice President of Strategic Alliance, Japan, at HCL Technologies — where he established the NEC–HCL joint venture and drove its growth as CEO. He went on to serve as Chairman and Managing Director of NEC Technologies India.

His background is unusual: alongside his corporate career, he has been a research scholar, a part-time English and yoga teacher in Japan, and a long-time student of Japanese culture and society. This breadth is the substrate of his counsel. He is sought out particularly for his read of senior Japanese executives — a read grounded in four decades of working with them, in their language.

At Reiwa, Prakash works with senior executives at the moment of leadership transition — a new regional role, a bicultural scope, a bigger brief than before. Patient, structured, confidential.

His practice is built on three decades of observing how leaders change — and what conditions make change possible rather than merely demanded.

Founder of The Narratives, an integrated marketing and communications agency. At Reiwa, Rohini advises on corporate communications strategy for cross-border businesses — aligning an organisation's voice across markets without losing clarity.

The challenge she addresses is specific: organisations that communicate fluently inside one culture and fall silent, or worse, jar, inside another.

At Reiwa, Rahul works on the HR architecture of cross-border operations — people strategies that work when a team is spread across three timezones and two business cultures.

His particular focus is the moment when a Japan–India joint venture starts building its combined workforce: a moment where HR decisions made quickly tend to be undone slowly.

Postgraduate in human resources. Seven years in India, four in Southeast Asia — Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia. Successful placements across engineering, IT, and finance, from individual contributor to senior management.

At Reiwa, Swati leads senior search mandates — regional leadership and country-head hires. Her network in India and SEA gives access to candidates rarely on public radar.

The placements she is most proud of are those where the candidate was not looking — and where the conversation that led to the role took six months of careful relationship-building.
