PwC US and PwC India to merge advisory operations through new joint venture

PwC US and PwC India have announced plans to establish a joint venture that will integrate PwC India's consulting division with the India-based capabilities of PwC US Advisory. The move aims to consolidate advisory talent and resources across both entities to strengthen their market position in India.

The venture will bring together complementary capabilities from both organizations, leveraging PwC India's established consulting business with the specialized expertise housed within PwC US Advisory's India operations. This integration is designed to create a unified advisory platform with enhanced service delivery capabilities.

The transaction is anticipated to close during the first half of 2027, pending customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. The combined entity is expected to offer clients a broader range of advisory services and deeper technical expertise across multiple sectors and service lines.

Both organizations believe the joint venture will enable them to better serve clients navigating complex business challenges in India while strengthening their competitive positioning in the region's growing advisory market. The partnership reflects the firms' commitment to investing in their Indian operations amid increased demand for digital transformation and business restructuring services.
