Accenture, the multinational IT services firm, has declared its commitment to hiring more talent within the country.
During an investor call, Accenture’s CEO, Julie Sweet, revealed their strategic focus on India and the company’s plans to bolster its workforce.
Accenture Talent Strategy and India’s Significance
Julie Sweet emphasized that Accenture’s talent strategy remains consistent, with a strong emphasis on India. The company recognizes India as a critical hub for technology expertise and innovation.
As part of this strategy, Accenture is actively hiring primarily in India, with a particular focus on technology roles.
This move aligns with their ongoing efforts to refresh their talent pyramid, welcoming new college graduates into the organization.
Out of Accenture’s global workforce of 7.7 lakh employees, over three lakhs are based in India—approximately 57% of the company’s team.
This substantial presence underscores India’s pivotal role in driving Accenture’s growth and technological advancements.
The company’s fiscal year runs from September to August, and in FY 2025, Accenture made a net addition of 41,484 people, with over 24,000 hires in the August quarter alone.
The hiring surge in India is a testament to the country’s talent pool and its ability to contribute significantly to Accenture’s success.
GenAI and Technology Investments
Accenture’s commitment to technology extends beyond traditional IT services. The company is investing heavily in emerging technologies, including Generative AI (GenAI).
Julie highlighted that GenAI is poised to be the most transformative technology of the next decade.
Their successful strategy to lead reinvention for clients, coupled with continued investments in their business, positions Accenture for robust growth in fiscal 2025.
In the fourth quarter of FY24-25, Accenture secured GenAI bookings worth a staggering one billion dollars, further reinforcing their commitment to cutting-edge solutions.
Accenture’s financial performance reflects its bullish outlook. Revenues for the first quarter of FY 2025 are expected to range between $16.8 billion and $17.4 billion.
Notably, in the third quarter, Accenture reported a five percent increase compared to the same quarter in FY23-24.
The company’s revenue revival remains strong, driven by technology-driven initiatives and strategic client partnerships.
Challenges and Opportunities at Accenture
While Accenture’s hiring surge in India is promising, it also presents challenges. Implementing GenAI requires robust data infrastructure—a fuel for AI-driven solutions.
Clients must be prepared to harness the power of GenAI effectively. As the company continues to accelerate its leadership in this field, collaboration with clients becomes crucial.
