PwC India aligns with national call for austerity, reinforces prudent travel and flexible working

New Delhi, Tuesday, 12 May 2026: PwC in India today said it continues to closely monitor the evolving macro economic environment and remains focused on ensuring seamless support to clients, while prioritising prudence, flexibility and the wellbeing of its people.

The firm noted Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent appeal for restraint and responsible consumption as part of a broader call for fiscal prudence and austerity.

“We remain aligned with the spirit of this appeal, while continuing to support clients, businesses and the wider economy with discipline and responsibility,” said Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson, PwC in India. Reflecting broader industry commentary, he added “India’s medium-to-long-term growth outlook remains resilient, supported by steady fiscal consolidation and structural reforms that continue to strengthen the country’s macroeconomic fundamentals despite external uncertainties.”

As part of a prudent and responsible approach, PwC has asked its people to review all domestic and international travel, with travel to be undertaken only where there is a clear business need. The firm said this builds on existing guidance and reflects its continued focus on disciplined decision-making. PwC also said its flexible working framework remains in place, enabling teams to support client requirements effectively while maintaining productivity, collaboration, and personal responsibility.

PwC will continue to review these measures as conditions evolve, remaining committed to its clients, its people, and to contributing positively to India’s growth journey.
