About PwC
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was formed in 1998 through the merger of two venerable accounting firms. In India, PwC has a legacy spanning over a century. Like its Big Four peers, PwC is structured as a network of independent member firms operating under a global brand.
Following the sale of its original consulting arm to IBM in 2002, PwC aggressively rebuilt its advisory business. The acquisition of Booz & Company in 2014 (rebranded as Strategy&) gave PwC a top-tier strategy consulting capability. In India, PwC operates a large domestic advisory practice alongside extensive Acceleration Centers (global delivery hubs).
