Commenting on her appointment, Shailee said, "I am honoured to lead India’s premier talent management company. I've had the privilege of working with some of the best talent and clients that one could wish for - both locally and globally. I look forward to taking PTM to the next level in the coming years and establishing it not just as India’s best but a global name in the field of talent management."

Bangard said, “I have spent over 15 years with the Percept Group, and it has been an exciting and fruitful journey which I will cherish immensely. I needed to take an extended break due to certain personal compulsions, and will utilize this interim period to figure out the next phase of my journey."
