About EY
EY (Ernst & Young) is one of the world's 'Big Four' professional services networks. Historically known primarily for financial auditing and tax services, EY has aggressively expanded its consulting arm over the last two decades. In India, EY operates both as a domestic practice serving Indian clients and through massive Global Delivery Services (GDS) centers serving the world.
EY's technology consulting practice is massive, partnering with giants like SAP, Microsoft, and ServiceNow to drive digital transformations for Fortune 500 companies. In 2023, EY abandoned 'Project Everest', a highly publicized plan to split its auditing and consulting arms into two separate companies.
