Manpreet Singh Ahuja — CEO
I am the Chief Clients and Alliances Officer at PwC India and part of the country leadership team. In this role, I focus on our most strategic relationships—working closely with top-tier clients, promoters, and family businesses across all key sectors that form the backbone of India’s economy and its future growth engine. I also drive our broader mid-market agenda, helping fast-growing businesses scale with confidence. As the leader for alliances, I bring a growth mindset to our ecosystem of partnerships—collaborating with hyperscalers, enterprise application providers, global system integrators, and sector-focused players. My goal is to co-create value and accelerate outcomes for our clients through innovation. Previously, I served as the Chief Digital Officer (CDO), where I led PwC India’s AI-first transformation. We disrupted traditional models, launched several firm-first digital initiatives, and built a culture of innovation across the firm. I led the Tech media and telecom (TMT) business of the firm and before that I led the risk consulting business for the firm. With nearly 25 years of consulting experience, I’ve worked across geographies including the US, UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and India—earning a reputation of a trusted advisor through times of change, complexity, and opportunity. My passion and energy levels are infectious. And yes, when I’m not working and the suit comes off, I’m just a proud dad of two amazing kids, a husband, and a weekend performer with my home crew.
