Accounting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) India is making multiple changes to its leadership team, effective 1 April 2025.
This includes the appointment of new executives and the creation of new roles within the firm.
As part of the restructuring drive, Vivek Prasad, earlier the firm’s markets leader, has been appointed as its new chief commercial officer, while Arnab Basu, formerly the advisory leader, is taking on the role of chief industries officer.
Manpreet Ahuja, transitioning from his position as chief digital officer, will now serve as the leader for clients and alliances.
Dinesh Arora, formerly the deals leader, will now lead the advisory practice, while Sudipta Ghosh, who previously headed the data and analytics practice, will now serve as the chief delivery officer.
In addition, PwC has appointed Dheeraj Gangrade as the deputy advisory leader, a newly created position.
PwC has also formed a dedicated brand and public policy function, which will be led by Ruchi Mann, who was previously the chief marketing officer for PwC.
PwC India chairperson Sanjeev Krishan said: “In the last four years, we have made investments in areas that are strategic to our growth and have been aligned with the larger Aspirational India story. We set out to achieve the $1bn revenue mark and achieved that well before our timeline.
“We have more than doubled our number of people and have significantly enhanced our presence with domestic businesses as well as key Alliance partners. Our future success here on depends on our ability to respond to new opportunities and challenges as they emerge in a bold, agile and future-ready manner.”
In November 2024, PwC opened its first Google Cloud AI Experience Zone at the US Acceleration Centre based in Bengaluru.
The initiative gave clients hands-on experience with AI solutions using Google Cloud’s Gemini models and Vertex AI.
