McKinsey is a global management consulting firm that helps our clients identify and set the direction toward their most important goals. We work together with our clients to turn these ambitious goals into reality. The firm’s primary objective has remained constant over time: to serve senior leaders as their most trusted external advisor on critical issues facing their organizations. We have made a significant commitment to working across sectors (public, social, and private) to tackle the world's most pressing issues. With exceptional people in 65 countries, we combine global expertise and local insight to help create the change that truly matters.
McKinsey has had a permanent presence in India for 30+ years, opening our first office in Mumbai in 1992. We work with India's largest companies-helping several become global champions-and with smaller, dynamic ones looking to mobilize change and accelerate sustainable and inclusive growth. We partner with government leaders to help drive growth and build capabilities. Our insights are shaped by leading industry experts, cutting-edge digital and analytics tools, and our decades of experience serving the world’s largest corporations.
