"We see exponential growth in India," Lang said. The group will establish centres of excellence, catering not just to the business in India, but also for its requirement in other markets, he added.

Consulting firms' increasing interest in India is good news for accounting professionals and those in other disciplines such as engineering and data analytics, as firms like Mazars set up inter-disciplinary teams to meet the complex needs of advisory services.
