He added that trust, ethics, and quality would remain core to the firm’s identity as it pursues its long-term vision of being the “clear choice” for clients, talent, and the public at large. “We will double down on our focus towards both – nation building and our firm’s growth,” he said.
Over the past four years, KPMG in India has seen significant expansion across key business metrics.
