Background
PwC US and PwC India have joined hands in a new venture that pulls their advisory talent and capabilities in both countries onto one platform. The combination brings PwC India’s Consulting business together with PwC US Advisory’s India-based capabilities, creating a single team for clients in India, the United States, and other global markets.
India now sits at the center of how global companies expand and operate. The country ranks among the fastest-growing markets, hosts a large base of Global Capability Centers, and supplies world-class talent and innovation.
The new venture links market relationships, industry knowledge, and delivery into one team so clients reach the right capabilities wherever those sit.
Paul Griggs, PwC US Senior Partner and CEO, said the strongest firms will treat markets, capabilities, and delivery as one connected whole. He added that the combination delivers something clients find nowhere else in the market.
The platform covers strategy, transformation, technology, engineering, and AI. It also scales managed services, widening the firm’s ability to run critical parts of client businesses.
Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson of PwC India and incoming CEO of the venture, said the move reflects the firm’s 150-year commitment to India and its Vision 2030 goal of building a Viksit Bharat. He noted that domestic clients will gain best-in-class global capabilities.
The transaction closes in the first half of calendar year 2027, subject to regulatory approvals. Both firms will own and govern the venture.
