LONDON, United Kingdom – 14/01/2025: Advenxa Recruitment Ltd., a fast-growing people and business consultancy with roots in India, has officially opened its new London hub — marking the company’s entry into the UK and European markets and signalling an ambitious new phase in its international growth journey.
The move comes as employers across Europe confront a tightening talent landscape shaped by persistent skills shortages, evolving employment regulations, and a growing focus on
ethics, inclusion, and governance. Advenxa aims to bring a fresh, consultative model to these challenges — combining recruitment excellence with business and HR advisory expertise to help organisations build stronger, more sustainable workforces.
A Growth Journey from India to Europe
Headquartered in Kochi, Kerala, Advenxa has built a solid reputation for delivering
compliance-led recruitment, workforce solutions, and business consulting services across diverse industries. Its Indian operations will continue to serve as the company’s central
delivery engine as it broadens its reach into more mature and regulated labour markets overseas.
Leading the Indian operations, Sandhya S Pillai and Ashik Abdul Salam have played a pivotal role in shaping Advenxa’s operational success. Sandhya S Pillai brings over 30 years of industry experience spanning recruitment, marketing, and business development — with a strong record in building scalable, partnership-driven service models. Ashik Abdul Salam’s
focus on operational precision, training, and capability development ensures consistent quality and measurable outcomes across all engagements.
London Leadership and Local Expertise
From London, Akhil Somakumar, a Chartered Member of the CIPD (MCIPD), heads Advenxa’s UK and European operations. Akhil, who has extensive experience across
multinational and growth-focused organisations, will lead efforts to align recruitment and consulting activities with the wider organisational goals of client businesses.
“Expanding into new markets takes more than just physical presence — it calls for
governance, ethics, and trust,” Akhil said. “We’re here to help organisations navigate workforce and business challenges with solutions that are strategic, compliant, and commercially sound.”
Integrated Recruitment and Business Consulting Services
Advenxa differentiates itself by integrating recruitment with business and people consulting offering clients end-to-end support that spans talent acquisition, workforce design, and organisational development. The company’s UK and European portfolio includes:
- Permanent and contractual recruitment solutions
- Contingent and flexible workforce models
- Workforce planning and talent strategy advisory
- HR operations and policy consultancy
- Business consulting and organisational transformation
- Compliance-led recruitment governance
This model enables employers to unify recruitment and operational strategy — optimising workforce costs, reducing risk, and driving long-term business results.
Guiding Principles: Ethics, Equity, and Inclusion
Across all regions, Advenxa anchors its services in ethical governance and inclusive practice. Its commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion ensures that fair opportunity,
accountability, and transparency are built into every stage of the workforce journey — from hiring to ongoing employee experience.
Eyes on the Middle East
With its foothold in London now established, Advenxa is already turning its attention
eastward, planning to expand into Middle Eastern markets by mid-2026. The next phase will focus on developing region-specific recruitment, business, and workforce consulting
solutions while upholding the company’s core commitment to compliant, values-driven service delivery.
“Our journey from India to the UK is a milestone — but not the destination,” a company spokesperson said. “Organisations today need partners who understand both people and performance, and that’s exactly the space Advenxa continues to lead.”
