This is aimed at lessening dependence on international leaders and improving the presence of India in the auditing and consulting industry. The country has the potential to revolutionize its business in the field of professional services by facilitating the growth of local companies to become global, adopt contemporary trends, and compete internationally. The next PMO meeting on September 23 is a crucial step in this process. Its resolution can transform India’s position in the world arena, and the local companies have a chance to become the real competitors to the global Big Four.
