The consulting industry in India is witnessing rapid growth, projected to reach $15 billion by 2030, driven by digital transformation and global economic momentum. Leading firms such as the MBB and the Big Four are deeply engaged with Indian businesses, while AI, ML, and Generative AI are reshaping consulting practices – from automating data-heavy tasks and predictive modelling to solution prototyping and strategic insights.
