DK Business Network

KPMG’s US and UK member firms have jointly acquired a 33% stake in KPMG Global Services (KGS) India. The $210 million deal marks the first-ever Big Four captive divestiture.

Established in 2008, KGS is KPMG India’s shared services arm, providing a range of services including audit support, advisory, and tax services to KPMG member firms worldwide. 

The leadership of KGS India includes Sameer Chadha as the Partner and Chief Executive Office. With a workforce of over 14,000 professionals, KGS operates primarily out of India and plays a crucial role in KPMG’s global service delivery model.

This acquisition is aimed at deeper alignment between KGS and its largest clients—KPMG US and UK. It is expected to boost consistency, operational efficiency, and client-centric innovation across geographies.

The move underscores a shift toward more integrated, tech-enabled global service models. It also reinforces India’s role as a strategic hub for high-value knowledge and professional services.

By pioneering this transformation, KPMG not only sets an industry precedent but also signals how traditional structures are evolving. It reflects a future-focused strategy combining scale, specialization, and agility.
