IT People India launches career portal
MUMBAI: IT People (India) Ltd, a BSE-listed premier staffing solutions company, has announced the launch of an IT-focused vertical career portal exclusively for the IT requirements of the industry.
The portal, IT-People.com, targets the IT Job market and provides a seamless platform for bringing together organisations, placement consultants and IT professionals across the world.
The launch is the first step towards providing a complete range of
solutions for addressing the needs of the human capital element of the
booming Indian industry, informs a company release.
Speaking on the launch, IT People chairman Ketan Sheth said, “Extensive research conducted across various industries has highlighted the dearth of quality IT professionals across all industries. While industry and employers are looking for quality people to serve their burgeoning IT needs, the IT professionals themselves feel the need of a quality online portal meant exclusively for the industry.”
The company is currently in the process of establishing a national presence through regional offices to serve the need of the employers across the nation. IT is launching operations in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Gulf and US. An aggressive investment strategy has been adopted in areas of brand building, relevant data base acquisition, infrastructure build-up and a world-class delivery organisation backed by robust processes, the release adds.
In the next expansion plan, the company will augment its presence in the UK and North Africa markets even further. In addition to the vertical career portal, unique offerings are planned for meeting the complete HR staffing needs in the IT environment. The company aims at positioning itself as a ‘one stop shop’ for all staffing requirements in the IT domain for the IT industry and for IT personnel in non-IT industries as well.

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
