Indian arm of the global consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) will hire 3,500 people in the next three-four years.
"We currently have 6,500 people working for PwC in India and we envisage that this could grow to 10,000 over the next three to four years as the Indian economy continues to grow strongly," Dennis Nally, PricewaterhouseCoopers International Chairman designate said today.
Nally, who is visiting the country after being elected as Chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Network, said India "is a very important strategic market for the global consultancy firm and will become increasingly important for it and international clients over the next few years."
Nally also met the four-member Advisory Board which was formed by its Indian outfit to refurbish its image following involvement of two of its partners in the multi-crore Satyam accounting fraud.
"I... Updated him on the works that the PwC advisory board is focusing on and the progress we have made in our discussion on quality, governance and ethics," said former Cabinet Secretary Naresh Chandra, who is heading the advisory board.
The members of the high-profiled board are former Comptroller and Auditor V K Shanglu, former Chief Election Commissioner B B Tandon and senior partner of PwC's Singapore arm Gautam Banerjee.
