About Mohd Rizwan Islam Kadari

I don’t just recruit. I build sales armies that crush quotas and fuel hyper-growth.In the last 7+ years I’ve personally hired and ramped 500+ high-ticket closers, SDRs, counsellors, and sales leaders across EdTech, E-learning, and Security Services — from Mumbai streets to Dubai boardrooms.Here’s what actually happened (real numbers, zero fluff):Single-handedly filled ALL open sales positions for entire Mumbai + West Zone at Toppr Technologies (multiple BUs, 30+ hires every alternate week).Delivered 30–50 people batches consistently in sales, tech, academics, and retail — while managing a team of 5 recruiters across the zone.Coordinated 50+ recruitment consultancies at once and still kept quality sky-high.At Paragon Security (Dubai), sourced and placed blue-collar to senior-level talent across Middle East & South Asia while running 20+ interviews a day like clockwork.Right now at Hike Education (joined Nov 2025) — leading end-to-end talent acquisition for Sales, Counselling, Operations & Academics. Already building the next wave of top performers who will take our online MBA & professional programs to the next level.I live on LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean strings, Naukri, Instahyre, and WhatsApp communities. I write job posts that get 200+ applications in 48 hours. I turn cold candidates into “when do I start?” in one call.If you’re a founder or CRO scaling aggressively and you need someone who can:Hire 7–8 overseas sales beasts in under 60 daysCut time-to-hire by 50%+Keep offer acceptance above 90%Make your employer brand actually stand out in the EdTech noise…then you already know who to call.I’m always one message away from building your next million-dollar team.
