Today, PwC India celebrates the strength, talent, and determination of people with disabilities, re-emphasising our commitment to creating an inclusive future. Through the PwC India Foundation initiatives in FY25, nearly 100 individuals in Ahmedabad and Kolkata are now building sustainable livelihoods and living with confidence. In Ahmedabad, our collaborative efforts with an NGO enabled people with disabilities to acquire vocational skills, empowering them to live independently. With improved training facilities and essential machinery such as paper plate, file-making and wax-melting units, the initiative helped create a safe learning environment while scaling production capacity and paving the way for a sustainable livelihood model. In Kolkata, women with intellectual disabilities were empowered through Project Charkha in the Thakurpukur area. By training them in niche skills like embroidery, block printing, natural dyeing and tailoring, the project is not only helping them craft high-quality home décor products but also supports them in discovering their self-worth and in making independent decisions. We also upgraded a braille press for providing braille books to visually impaired students. This International Day of People with Disabilities reminds us of their journeys and motivates us to remain committed to fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress. #PwCIF #EnablingPwD #InternationalDayofPeoplewithDisabilities | Jaivir Singh | Sanjoy Banerjee 

India’s economic boom is led by family businesses driving growth across sectors. As families accumulate wealth, the number of family offices has also grown significantly.  While many family offices still focus solely on managing financial assets, the approach is evolving. Family capital goes beyond finances—it’s about managing wealth, business, and family legacy together. Today’s family offices in India are key to unlocking the full potential of this broader family capital.

As the pace of transformation accelerates, AI is no longer just a tool—it’s reshaping the very nature of work. In his latest article for ET HRWorld, our Chief People Officer, Vivek Prasad, explores how organisations must shift focus “from replacement to reinvention”. The real opportunity lies in rethinking roles, empowering talent and reimagining work design for a future where people and machines collaborate to drive value. At PwC India, we believe that building a future-ready workforce demands more than technology adoption. It requires thoughtful change management, ethical governance, and a commitment to upskilling—so that the workforce evolves with the times. We are proud to champion this transformation for businesses across India.
