Today we work with over 5000 national and international clients and operate from 7 Indian cities. We have over 3000 people across our service lines and sectors and we’re looking at crossing the 5,000 mark by 2010.”

Every day, the 3,200 people of KPMG in India serve a number of India’s largest and most respected companies, invest their time and resources to community initiatives, and continue to make KPMG a great place to build a career.”
