PwC India will hire 1,000 digital technology experts
over the next three years to strengthen capabilities, which include building
digital solutions and delivering them to customers and its internal teams. The firm will invest Rs 100 crore towards the
development of digital solutions, in addition to ongoing investments in digital
R&D and talent for building tech-enabled solutions.
It also launched 40 tech solutions spanning
digital, finance, risk and compliance and tax. These solutions help clients
with emerging technologies like cloud, artificial intelligence and mobile. These technology-based tools and solutions
will get integrated with the company’s existing service offerings, said
Deepankar Sanwalka, partner and leader – advisory, PwC India.
Many of the solutions launched are already in
use by clients in India and abroad. PwC India is investing in both people and
technology to provide value-added
services to clients. This will enable the firm to take up technology-based
projects from other network firms.
“The focus is on building a digital ecosystem
of solutions adoptable for plug-and-play to solve client problems using
emerging technologies. We are also changing our delivery model to ensure that
we deliver outcomes to our clients quicker,” said Sivarama Krishnan, a partner
at PwC India. The company is moving
beyond the scope of existing service offerings to unlock new value for clients
by exploiting the potential presented by emerging technologies. By working with
startups and product development ecosystems through alliances, PwC India will be
able to address the most pressing challenges clients face by bringing in
innovation to scale.
The management consulting team of KPMG is
looking to hire 8,000-9,000 people in India, a 10th of them to be deployed on
projects overseas, as they see global clients increasingly want it to implement
and showcase results, instead of just advising strategy.
