In a recent IDC Market Note, titled ‘PwC India Analyst Day 2024 - Shaping the Digital Vision of India Through Tech-Led Business Innovations’ (June 2024, IDC #AP50958224), the analysts state that “PwC India is showing to the rest of the world that it can create more value by consolidating and realigning its practices to serve customers better in this digital age.”

PwC is accelerating investments in talent, technology, and in the services it offers to clients around the globe — enabling them to move beyond optimisation, to identifying new sources of growth and finding ways to create value. It is deeply committed to the optimism lent by India’s meteoric rise on the global map, and together with PwC India, remains invested in contributing to that journey. The Analyst Day showcased PwC’s strategic priorities, including the integration of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) that leverage India as a hub of innovation and expertise.
