ET’s Puran Choudhary, the company’s global Gen AI leader, Nitin Mittal, shared Deloitte’s “India for global, India for India” strategy. Edited excerpts:
Why did Deloitte choose India for the global CoE?
There are several reasons. One is the talent base both within Deloitte and the larger ecosystem, including startups, academia and institutions. The other reason is that almost every Fortune 500 company has a presence in India. In Bengaluru alone, 38% of Fortune 500 companies operate. Compare this to other regions, like the Nordic countries, where talent may exist but not at the scale or price points we find here. This dual benefit of “India for global” and “India for India” is rare, and it’s a critical factor for Deloitte.
What is the investment in the new AI CoE?
The total investment in Global Generative AI Market Incubator (launched in 2023), DCIT(2024), and CoE (early 2025) is in the range of $5 to $10 million, excluding the cost of people. This covers infrastructure, software licences, and other resources.
Will Deloitte include Gen AI in the services it provides?
