PwC will celebrate its 150th anniversary in India in 2022, a milestone achieved thanks to the firm’s unwavering ability to embrace change and the unwavering faith reposed in it by its clients and people.
For PwC in India, the very last century and a half have been a journey of trust, resilience, and value – a story of evolution and transformation in combination with the country’s growth. Sanjeev Krishan, Chairman of PwC in India, said on the occasion, “It is truly an honor and privilege for us today to celebrate the legacy built by the firm’s leaders as we continue to realize their vision.” The last century and a half have been about more than just successes and achievements; it has also been about learning. We’ve used what we’ve learned to become stronger, more focused, and better positioned to fulfill our objective of solving important problems and cultivating a strong culture of respect, inclusion, and transparency.”
PwC in India has long been known for its high-caliber, talented workforce. Today, the network of firms in India with offices across the country provides a full range of professional services to its clients. With a 22% YoY revenue growth in the previous fiscal year, the firm is addressing the needs of the transformative journey that Indian businesses are undertaking by leveraging the strengths of its multidisciplinary practices. The majority of the firm’s recent investments have been in technology and management consulting, risk, and deals, including organic acquisitions to deepen existing problem-solving capabilities and add scale. The domestic market is a major focus for the firm, which has opened three new offices this year to be closer to clients and tap into the vast talent pools across the country.
“We were fortunate to be a part of India’s encounter with major transformative changes that are now recorded in history.” For us, commemorating this milestone is an opportunity not only to look back and celebrate our excellence in client delivery but also to look ahead and reflect on our role in our country’s overall growth journey. Armed with our new strategy, we remain steadfastly committed to contributing to India’s ambition of becoming a 5 trillion dollar economy. “We look forward to working with our clients, our people, and the larger stakeholder ecosystem to create the virtuous cycle of earning trust and delivering long-term results that will allow our country to emerge as a global leader,” Krishan added.
The company makes every effort to provide its employees with a challenging and holistic work environment that values diversity, upskilling, and a focus on growth opportunities. The network of firms is also aggressively hiring to meet the aspiration of being relevant to India Inc.’s growth plans. The plan was to hire 10,000 people over five years in priority areas such as cloud, digital, analytics, cyber, and emerging technologies – a figure that now appears to be achievable in three to four years.
