PwC India has announced plans to create 20,000 additional jobs over the next five years, expanding its workforce to 50,000 employees by 2030.
The move is part of the firm’s newly unveiled Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to triple its revenue and deepen its presence across emerging sectors and geographies.
The announcement reflects PwC’s commitment to supporting India’s economic transformation and building a future-ready workforce.
Chairperson Sanjeev Krishan emphasized that the next five years represent a pivotal period for India to “lead, shape, and build its future towards becoming Kal Ka Bharat.”
PwC’s roadmap is designed to grow with India, for India, by investing in talent, technology, and regional development.
PwC Focusing on Technology, Innovation, and Capability Building
To support its growth targets, PwC India will invest over 5% of annual revenues in technology, innovation, and capability building.
The firm is reimagining how it attracts and develops talent, with a strong emphasis on AI-led delivery, digital transformation, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
In addition, PwC will dedicate 1% of its revenues to upskilling employees and partners.
This includes expanding access to learning, prioritizing women in leadership, and creating inclusive growth journeys that support career development from entry-level to executive roles.
Decentralized Growth Through Tier 2 and 3 Cities
A key component of PwC’s strategy is its expansion into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, which will support decentralized growth and regional economic development.
This aligns with the Indian government’s vision of building self-sufficient local economies and broadening job creation beyond metropolitan centers.
The firm plans to hire for sectoral and digital capabilities in these regions, establishing regional delivery centers and centers of excellence to serve both domestic and global clients more efficiently.
Sectoral Strategy and Emerging Opportunities
PwC India’s growth strategy is anchored in six “Go Long” sectors:
- Financial Services
- Healthcare
- Industrial Manufacturing
- Automotive
- Technology
- Media & Telecom
These sectors represent the largest opportunities for transformational impact.
The firm also plans to establish an early presence in “Horizon Sectors”, which are rapidly emerging and driven by evolving human needs and technological disruption.
Krishan noted that future success will require bold reinvention of business models, operations, and resource use.
PwC aims to move beyond its traditional role as a services firm.
It is transforming into a delivery-focused organization driven by deep sector expertise and technologies like generative AI.
Talent Development at the Core of PwC
“As our clients transform, so must we — and that begins with our people,” said Sanjeev.
The firm’s approach to talent development includes building inclusive pathways, enhancing sectoral depth, and embedding digital capabilities across its offerings.
This people-first strategy is central to PwC’s long-term vision and its role in shaping India’s future workforce.
