PwC India To Create 10K Jobs, To Increase Campus Hiring Manyfold

Professional services firm PwC is aiming to create over 10,000 additional jobs over the next five years. As a part of its new business strategy, the firm plans to invest Rs 1,600 crore to expand its India operations.

These jobs will be in the field of digital, Cloud, cyber, analytics and emerging technologies and the firm will also be increasing its hiring from campus by over 5 times. PwC India will also try to achieve a minimum of 40 per cent gender diversity, while at the same time it will also focus on up skilling people and partners by spending at least 1 per cent of its revenues.

PwC India has identified new business opportunities for consulting and accounting firms due to the growth of unicorns in the country. In line with this trend, the firm’s new strategy will have enhanced focus unicorns and start-ups. PwC India will also set up a PwC research institute. This research institute will help clients to identify emerging trends across sectors.

These plans have been outlined by the PwC India in its 'The New Equation' strategy, which reflects the firm’s new approach.
