'India's growth story continues to inspire confidence – and we remain deeply committed to being a part of it. Over the past few years, we've made focused investments in our people, capabilities and partnerships to better serve the evolving needs of our clients. Vision 2030 builds on this momentum while embracing emerging areas of opportunities, as we double down on our efforts to support India's transformation and deliver sustained outcomes,' said Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson, PwC in India.
PwC grew 22% to Rs 9,200 crore in FY 25, ET first reported on January 7. The firm could clock similar growth in FY 26 and could cross a total revenue of Rs 11,000 crore only in India.
Krishan, along with Vivek Prasad, Chief Commercial Officer, addressed all the firm's 30000 employees on Tuesday. The leaders said the firm is looking to 'future proof' its growth by investing in technology.
The
professional services firm
also intends to add 20,000 jobs in next five years, expanding its workforce in both large cities and in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. This decentralised growth model is designed to align with the government's ambition to strengthen local economies and broaden the benefits of job creation beyond India's largest urban centres.
The Vision 2030 roadmap positions PwC India as a trusted partner of choice, aiming to attract top Indian talent, leverage advanced technology and deliver sustained outcomes for clients. It reflects the firm's view that the next half-decade will be pivotal for India to 'lead, shape, and build its future towards becoming Kal Ka Bharat.'
'As our clients transform, so must we — and that begins with our people,' said Krishan. 'We're focused on building a future-ready workforce by expanding access to learning, prioritising women in leadership, and creating inclusive growth journeys that allow our people to thrive — from the campus to the boardroom.'
To achieve this, PwC India will allocate 1 per cent of revenue to upskilling its people and partners. It will also enhance sector-specific and digital capabilities, while expanding its network of regional delivery centres and centres of excellence to serve both domestic and global clients more efficiently.
The growth strategy is anchored in six 'Go Long' sectors: financial services, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, auto, technology, and media & telecom. In addition, the firm will target 'Horizon Sectors' where disruption is rapid, establishing an early and strategic presence.
'The Value in Motion framework is our catalyst. It explores how industries are evolving and how leaders can unlock new value through reinvention. We see growth shifting toward emerging domains, grounded in human needs. These domains will shape future markets and create unique opportunities for us to support our clients — and our country. This is our moment to lead and define what's next,' added Krishan.
With nearly 900 partners, a 30,000-strong workforce and operations across all major Indian cities, PwC India has maintained steady growth over the past four years. Vision 2030 represents its most significant transformation yet — shifting from a traditional services firm to a modern, delivery-focused business built on deep sector expertise, cutting-edge technology and an expanded national footprint.

India will be among biggest contributors to our growth in long run: Amazon's Samir Kumar
Agencies Samir Kumar, Country head, Amazon India India is expected to become one of the largest contributors to Amazon's long-term growth, its country head Samir Kumar said on Wednesday, adding that the ecommerce giant is doubling down on its focus in the market, where it is investing billions of dollars. India is still not as deeply penetrated in terms of online consumption and therefore, presents a "very large opportunity" for Amazon, Kumar, who is now helming operations here as the country manager of Amazon India, told PTI in an interview. It is pertinent to mention that Amazon has committed to significant investment in its India infrastructure, about Rs 2,000 crore for 2025 alone. It has previously outlined a broader investment pledge of $26 billion by 2030, with close to $15 billion between 2023 and 2030. Kumar said India is among the fastest-growing markets for the company."And we are a big believer that in the long run, India will be one of the biggest contributors to our growth," Kumar said, but did not give a is still not deeply penetrated in terms of consumption, he said, adding that while users are online, buying products and watching videos, there is a huge headroom for growth when it comes to online shoppers."...not everyone is shopping online. If you look at just mobile phone penetration, maybe it is close to a billion people, who have mobile phones, but only 100 million plus of them are shopping online. So, the next 200 million (that the company is aspiring to reach) are going to be part of that," he pointed the economy grows, and so does consumption, and as GDP per capita rises, India is poised to have "many more consumers who will value the convenience of shopping online", Kumar noted."We have seen this phenomenon around the world. So, we have a very large opportunity still remaining in India. We have 1.4 billion people," he company has set its sights on what Kumar describes as a broader 'Bharat', living in tier II, III cities and beyond."Let's take a good chunk of that and make sure that they are able to come online, shop online, get the best value, and get the fastest delivery possible. And with that, I believe there's a big opportunity. So, beyond the tier I cities, there's a huge opportunity in 'Bharat', which is like tier II, III cities, where we are seeing very deep penetration now starting to happen," he said. For Amazon, part of that optimism also comes from Prime Day sales indicators. "In fact, if you look at the Prime Day performance that we just concluded, almost 70% of new Prime customers or Prime members came from these smaller cities. If you look at our sellers who participated in Prime Day, almost 60 to 75% of them got a sale from the smallest town and city. So, I think India is growing," he declined to give a breakdown of India numbers, but said it is "definitely one of our fastest growing markets, continues to be"."And we continue to see the growth of India," he is "happy" with the progress that it has made so far, but believes "there's so much to be done"."We are very, very long-term focused," he how macroeconomic realities, and the trade and tariffs tensions between India and the US are impacting exporters on its platform, Kumar refused to comment on specifics, saying "I am not an expert on tariffs"."...what we building a frictionless and really smooth experience for our sellers, whether it's building the middle mile or the global mile capability for people to take their item and be able to distribute it around the world. "So, we are building that capability. Making it easier for sellers to list their products in one place and go through the regulatory and compliance requirements in each of the marketplaces that we run. So, we are enabling that," he said.

Is Munir using Trump for his Balochistan problem, or setting up a US-China game?
Washington's terror designation of BLA aligns with strategic mineral interests in Pakistan, bolstering Asim Munir's crackdown on dissent and signaling a new phase in US-Pakistan ties amid growing competition with China The Trump administration's decision to designate the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) appears to be closely linked to growing US interest in Pakistan's untapped rare earth reserves, according to The Economic Times report, citing sources familiar with the matter. The US move also strengthens Field Marshal Asim Munir's position in cracking down on Baloch political activists while paving the way for American mining companies to gain a foothold in Pakistan's largest province, believed to hold significant rare earth deposits. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to the report, the move, which comes amid deepening US-Pakistan relations in Donald Trump's second term, is being viewed as part of a broader strategic effort to reduce American dependence on Chinese rare earth exports. Over the past six months, Islamabad and Washington have intensified discussions on rare earth extraction — a shift seen as pivotal in resetting bilateral ties, added the report. Pakistan 'persuades' Trump Pakistan seems to have successfully persuaded the Trump administration that controlling BLA is crucial for accessing 'critical minerals' in the region, reported ET, citing analysts. The BLA has long opposed state presence and foreign investments in Balochistan, a resource-rich but conflict-ridden province where China's controversial China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) also runs. The Trump administration's growing interest in Balochistan's rare earth potential comes amid stalled US-China trade talks, where Beijing's near-monopoly on rare earth supply has been a sticking point. Trump has previously signaled intentions to diversify sources for strategic minerals, a push that has now brought Pakistan into sharper focus. Diplomatic observers remain cautious, noting that any suggestion of US military involvement in Balochistan — similar to the Afghan model — could face serious resistance, reported ET. The region's rugged terrain and a populace wary of foreign intervention may replicate the challenges faced during America's two-decade-long war in Afghanistan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD China's response uncertain While Beijing has historically supported Pakistan's actions against BLA, its response to increased US economic and strategic engagement in Balochistan remains uncertain. China has heavily invested in infrastructure projects across the province, particularly around the strategic Gwadar Port, a CPEC centerpiece. Local opposition to Chinese-funded ventures has simmered for years, with residents accusing Beijing of exploiting the region's resources without delivering economic benefits or respecting local autonomy. This presents a delicate balancing act for both Islamabad and Beijing in managing foreign influence. The timing of the BLA designation also coincides with Munir's visit to Washington and a newly inked US-Pakistan trade framework. While Pakistan currently holds a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, it's unclear whether it will push for further international action against BLA. However, sources indicate that the militant group's lack of affiliation with Al-Qaeda or its affiliates makes a designation under the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee unlikely. Still, the US move could set the stage for a rare moment of alignment between China and the US, both backing Pakistan's internal security concerns — although for very different reasons.
