Deloitte is the largest professional services network globally with presence in over 150 countries and comprising more than 450,000 professionals.

Channa Manoharan, Senior Partner, said “our commitment to stay relevant to our clients and deliver high quality work remains unchanged and as part of the Deloitte network there will also be no change to the services we offer. Our partners and teams who lead the work for our clients will continue to do so and ensure a seamless transition. We are also excited by the prospect of our ability to bring a wide variety of insights and offerings which we believe will support the growth aspirations of our clients and people.”

He further stated that, “we will continue to provide rewarding careers and international exposure to our people. We would also like to reassure all our stakeholders, including our clients, our people, our academic partners and service providers, that we will continue to strengthen our relationships, offering more opportunities for growth in the future.”
