PwC’s 6th Gurgaon office is live, with Mumbai next up!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • On July 22, 2025, PwC India opened the doors to its latest facility, a gleaming 125,000 sq. ft. workspace in DLF Downtown 4, Gurugram.
  • It’s their 6th in NCR, taking the local headcount to nearly 8,000.
  • And they’re not done yet. Mumbai is next. Two new offices are in the pipeline for 2025.
  • Big 4 are battling for talent and territory in India’s booming market!

Why is PwC India in Gurugram?

Gurugram has quietly become a powerhouse for global firms and the Big 4 are paying attention.

  • 15 minutes from IGI Airport, connected by top expressways and metro.
  • Home to over 250 Fortune 500 companies, including global heavyweights such as Microsoft, Accenture, Samsung, and EY
  • Rich talent pool: Feeds off IIT Delhi, IIM Rohtak, and other top institutes.
  • Grade-A spaces cost half of Mumbai’s rates (Gurugram cost ₹90–130/sq ft/month—about half of Mumbai’s ₹200–300)
  • GCC hotspot: Over 400 Global Capability Centres operate here, contributing $18–20 billion in exports annually.

No wonder PwC, and the rest of the Big 4, are betting big on this city.

Big 4 expansion in India: Who’s growing where?

PwC India office expansion: Metro-first, high-impact

  • Gurugram (Jul 2025): 125,000 sq ft office, 6th in NCR, focused on collaboration and modern workspaces.
  • Mumbai (Coming 2025): Two new offices in the pipeline.
  • NCR headcount climbing to 8,000.

Meanwhile, PwC’s Service Delivery Centres (SDCs) in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai continue to power its consulting and assurance engines, though no new SDCs have been announced lately.

EY is building a southern fortress

While EY India hasn’t made any flashy front-office moves lately.

EY Global Delivery Services (GDS) is expanding:

  • Coimbatore (Feb 2025): A sleek new 22,000 sq. ft. facility — EY’s third in Tamil Nadu — powering AI, cloud, analytics & cybersecurity.
  • Kochi (Jan 2025): EY’s fourth office opens at Prestige Cyber Green, deepening its delivery roots in Kerala.

KPMG: Innovation Over Expansion

KPMG India is active across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Chennai, Kochi, Vijayawada, etc. No new cities in 2024–25, but strengthening its Innovation Kaleidoscope Centres

  • Bengaluru (Apr 2024): 2nd centre launched
  • Gurugram: Another centre in development

KGS (KPMG Global Services): No new cities, but building tech muscle at existing 8-city footprint.

Deloitte’s new offices 2024: Fastest growing, aggressively expanding

  • Bengaluru (Mar 2024): A massive 4th office, housing 6,000+, complete with innovation labs.
  • Noida (Mar 2024): New-age hub for cloud & advisory.
  • Pune (Mar 2024): Strengthening tech advisory muscle.
  • Lucknow (Mar 2025): First-ever office, 12,800 sq. ft. – planting a flag in Tier-2 India.

No new Deloitte USI offices were launched in 2024 or 2025. The most recent expansion came in May 2023, when Deloitte opened three new delivery centres in Pune, Chennai, and Kolkata.

Hiring spree: 120K and aiming for 150K–160K. All-in on AI, cloud, cyber.

Wrapping up…

Deloitte is the fastest and broadest grower, opening multiple new offices across metros and emerging cities, with big hiring plans and an innovation focus.

PwC is methodically scaling metros with a sharp focus on workspace and collaboration.

EY is growing regionally, focusing on South India and GCC partnerships.

KPMG is growing steadily, mainly via innovation hubs rather than multiple new offices.

FAQs: Big 4 Office Expansion in India (2024–2025)

Why are the Big 4 expanding their office presence in India?

India is one of the fastest-growing talent and service delivery hubs globally.

With strong digital infrastructure, a rich talent pool, and competitive real estate, the Big 4 are investing heavily in both metros and Tier-2 cities to support global clients and internal growth.

Why did PwC India choose Gurugram for its latest office?

Gurugram offers proximity to the airport, lower real estate costs compared to Mumbai, access to top talent (IITs, IIMs), and is already home to 250+ Fortune 500 companies and 400+ GCCs. It’s a strategic choice for scalability and client proximity.

Which Big 4 firm is expanding the fastest in India?

Deloitte is currently leading in terms of office expansions and hiring. It launched multiple new offices in Bengaluru, Pune, Noida, and Lucknow within 2024–25 and is on track to increase its India workforce to 150K–160K.

Are Big 4 firms focusing more on Tier-2 cities in India?

Yes. Firms like Deloitte and EY are entering Tier-2 locations like Lucknow, Vijayawada, Coimbatore, and Kochi to tap into emerging talent and expand service delivery capabilities closer to home.
