EY plans to hire 14,000 people for its Global Delivery Services (GDS) centres in India as it plans to strengthen its technology and consultancy services delivery network.
The audit and professional services major is looking to recruit more talent with expertise in advanced analytics and other highly-skilled professionals across its eight GDS centres in the country that already employ about 27,000 people.
Deloitte and KPMG have announced plans to hire 40,000 and 8,000-9,000 people, respectively, to strengthen their India teams. Srinivasa Rao, global vice-chair at EY GDS, said the company expects to hire 14,000 people this financial year. He said GDS is globally seen as the “conduit” for all its outsourcing contracts.
