PwC India on Monday announced, it will invest Rs 100 crore on development of digital solutions and looks to hire 1,000 digital technology experts over the next three years. And this will be in addition to ongoing investments towards innovation, digital R&D and talent for building new tech-enabled solutions.
“Our deep expertise and understanding of our clients’ business and the sectors they operate in has been the foundation upon which these tech solutions have been created. These technology-based tools and solutions will also get integrated with our existing service offerings,” PwC India Partner and Leader (Advisory) Deepankar Sanwalka said.
The move is aimed at strengthening capabilities to deliver tech solutions that will help clients address real-world business challenges, it said in a statement. Pwc has already hired a little over hundred digital solution professionals to build the initial leg of products.
PwC India is investing in both people and technology to build strong, tech-enabled solutions teams that will provide value-added services to clients. This will also enable the firm to take up technology-based projects from other network firms in the future.
The firm is focused on moving beyond the scope of existing service offerings, to unlock new value for clients by exploiting the potential presented by emerging technologies. By working with start-ups and product development ecosystems through alliances, PwC India will be able to address the most pressing challenges clients face by bringing in innovation to scale, said Sivarama Krishnan, partner, PwC India.
