Artificial intelligence and automation are rapidly reshaping entry-level tasks, creating new opportunities on one hand but also introducing significant challenges for the future workforce. Structured, sustained learning pathways delivered through cyber ranges, internships, professional certifications and close academic collaboration are becoming essential for cultivating the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Nurturing this expanding talent pipeline has never been more critical, ensuring that organisations can meet and exceed the complex security demands that will continue to emerge in the years ahead. #CyberResilience #CyberDefence Siddharth Vishwanath | Sundareshwar K (Sundar) | Venkat Iyer

In July 2024, the Meppadi region of Wayanad, Kerala, was devastated by catastrophic landslides that left communities shattered and vulnerable. In response, the PwC India Foundation swiftly launched on-ground assessments, which revealed an urgent need for emergency healthcare services, especially in remote and hard-to-reach areas. To bridge this critical gap, two ambulances were donated to the Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP), ensuring timely medical care. Yet, true recovery extends far beyond immediate relief. Recognising this, PwC India Foundation partnered with Thanal – Daya Rehabilitation Trust to focus on the long-term well-being of one of the most vulnerable groups—children with special needs. Disasters not only affect their physical safety but also jeopardise their progress and independence. Through tailored rehabilitation programmes, we are helping these children regain vital life skills and rebuild their confidence, empowering them to lead rich, independent lives. Together, these efforts reflect a holistic commitment: from saving lives in the wake of the emergency to nurturing hope and resilience that will sustain communities for years to come. #PwCIF #Resilience #CommunitySupport | Jaivir Singh

In today’s data-driven business landscape, data protection isn’t just a compliance requirement; it’s a catalyst for trust and innovation. With the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) set to be implemented soon in India, organisations across sectors are reimagining how they collect, process, and safeguard personal data. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) is expected to reinforce respect for privacy principles and safeguard individuals’ rights. It presents a valuable opportunity for businesses of all sizes and sectors to go beyond checkbox compliance and adopt responsible data practices, building trust with consumers, partners, and the broader ecosystem. PwC’s Vikram Jeet Singh shares his perspective on why this moment marks a pivotal shift in shaping the future of digital governance. And as a bonus, the Act’s focus on personal data will likely drive broader improvements in people, processes, and technology, strengthening governance of other critical information assets and IP. #RethinkRisk #PrivacyFirst #DataPrivacy #DPDPAct #NewRegulation Siddharth Vishwanath | Sundareshwar K (Sundar) | Anirban Majumder | Heena Vazirani | S Dinesh | Koshy Thomas

India is home to over 200 global capability centres of FMCG and retail companies, which together employ 1 lakh+ professionals. These GCCs manage everything from global supply chains to marketplace operations and marketing campaigns. But GenAI is reshaping the landscape rapidly. As it structures unstructured information and delivers ever-improving analysis in seconds, GCCs face pressing questions: - How do they evolve their operating models?  - How do they manage the anxieties and mindsets of humans in the loop with agents?  - How do they transition from managing services to managing impact? At PwC Global Consumer Markets CEO Leadership Retreat, Goa, 3–4 November 2025, we will help GCCs unpack the implications of AI and agentic automation, in one of our fireside chats, so they can stay ahead of the curve and remain relevant amid rapidly evolving engagement paradigms. #ConsumerMarketsCEORetreat #SuperchargingGrowth  Arnab Basu | Dinesh Arora | Ravi Kapoor | Manpreet Singh Ahuja | Rajesh Kumar Ojha | Vineet Satija | Tanuj Talwar | Kushal Sinha | Rakesh Mani | Martijn Peeters

Compliance is the baseline. But in a world of rising data and third-party risks, it’s not enough. The DPDP Act has raised expectations, and vendors must now prove how they protect data, not just promise data protection. Real oversight means tracking, auditing and holding vendors accountable. PwC India helps you move from reactive compliance to proactive third-party risk management.

Domain-driven value creation doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s a collaborative effort across ecosystems.

Strategic clarity is needed to lead with alignment and unlock shared value.  Learn more in our report: https://lnkd.in/gkeWJqy9  #ValueInMotion #BusinessReinvention #FutureOfGrowth 

At the Global Consumer Markets CEO Retreat, CEOs across consumer categories will be coming together to discuss India’s consumer market and mindset. Our aim is to help leaders navigate consumer evolution with greater confidence and conviction. India’s consumer market is unique: where global playbooks adapt to domestic realities, where scale demands both deep pockets and deeper patience, where consumers seek quality but expect local tastes at local prices, and where there is great diversity but purse strings remain tight. Gaining a disproportionate market share begins with implementing the right operating model. On Day 1 of our retreat, we will deep dive into the perspectives of participants who are actively reshaping India’s consumer landscape. #ConsumerMarketsCEORetreat #SuperchargingGrowth Arnab Basu | Dinesh Arora | Ravi Kapoor | Manpreet Singh Ahuja | Vineet Satija | Tanuj Talwar | Kushal Sinha | Rakesh Mani | Martijn Peeters 

Governance is getting smarter. But is it getting wiser? As AI tools become central to decision-making, boards are turning to governance-tech to decode complexity, track ESG metrics and audit algorithms. Even the most advanced systems need human oversight since data can guide decisions but only people can shape values. The future of governance isn’t about choosing between humans and machines. It’s about designing systems where both work together. Explore how governance-tech is rising and why human judgment still matters: https://lnkd.in/geGKYVD4 #RethinkRisk #CorporateGovernance #ResponsibleAI Siddharth Vishwanath | Puneet Garkhel | Supriya Verma
