PwC’s Indian and U.S. arms have agreed to merge their consulting operations into a new joint venture that will bring together roughly 40,000 consultants and advisory professionals. The partnership, announced by both firms, is designed to create a single, larger entity that can compete more effectively in the global consulting market.
