PwC India has set its sights on tripling annual revenue within five years, under its newly launched Vision 2030 strategy. The plan will be powered by sustained investments — over 5% of annual revenue — in technology, innovation, and capability building, alongside a sharper focus on high-growth domains such as digital transformation, sustainability, risk and regulatory, cloud, and cybersecurity.

Backed by Strong Momentum

In FY25, PwC India recorded 22% growth to ₹9,200 crore, with projections to surpass ₹11,000 crore in FY26. Chairperson Sanjeev Krishan said the strategy builds on years of targeted investments in people, capabilities, and partnerships, adding that India’s economic trajectory offers “a pivotal opportunity to lead, shape, and build Kal Ka Bharat.”

Expanding Talent and Reach

The firm plans to add 20,000 jobs over the next five years, expanding its footprint across both major metros and Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. This decentralised growth model aligns with India’s goal of spreading economic benefits beyond large urban hubs. Nearly 1% of revenue will be allocated to upskilling employees, with emphasis on leadership diversity and inclusive growth pathways.

Strategic Sector Focus

PwC India’s growth roadmap is anchored in six “Go Long” sectors — financial services, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, auto, technology, and media & telecom — while targeting emerging “Horizon Sectors” where disruption is rapid. Its Value in Motion framework will guide clients on how evolving industries can unlock new value through reinvention and human-centric solutions.

Building Future-Ready Capabilities

The firm will expand its network of regional delivery centres and centres of excellence, enhancing service for both domestic and global clients. By integrating advanced technology into its delivery model and strengthening sector-specific expertise, PwC aims to position itself as the partner of choice for organisations navigating transformation.

The Road Ahead

With 900 partners, a workforce of 30,000, and operations in all major Indian cities, PwC India has enjoyed steady growth over the past four years. Vision 2030 marks a transformational shift from a traditional professional services firm to a modern, technology-driven, sector-focused business prepared to meet the challenges of a fast-changing economy.
