🚨 India Eyes Its Own Big Four!
On 23rd Sept 2025, the PMO will review key regulatory reforms to help Indian audit & consulting firms scale globally.
🔑 What’s on the table?
• ✅ Multi-disciplinary firms (CAs, CS, lawyers, actuaries under one roof)
• ✅ Lifting advertising/branding restrictions for CA firms
• ✅ Mergers, alliances & overseas networking support
• ✅ Tender/procurement reforms to create a level playing field
📊 Why it matters:
Today, global Big Four (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) + a few others audit 326 of 486 Nifty-500 companies. India wants to build homegrown giants that can compete internationally, boost 🇮🇳’s share in the $240B global audit-consulting market, and align with the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
💡 If successful, this move could reshape India’s audit landscape—with stronger domestic firms, more competition, and a truly global footprint for Indian professionals.
👉 Do you think India can build its own Big Four in the next decade?
