No matter how more or little money and possessions you have, it certainly pays to have a consultant, who saves you from paying more. And if you happen to hire Vijay Malhotra, Managing Director, KPMG's services, you can certainly be adding weight to your assets and saving some moolha. That's what Malhotra has successfully been doing and is known for, amongst his clients. A qualified chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and an alumnus of the Cathedral and John Connon High School, Malhotra has had years of rich experience in business methodology and rules and regulations governing the commercial enterprises in India and abroad.

It is his sound understanding of business operations, administrative skills and ability of successfully launching projects that has earned him wide recognition. Malhotra joined KPMG, in the UK in early 1976 and has subsequently worked in Iran, India and UAE. It goes to Malhotra's credit that in 1993, he successfully co-founded KPMG's operations in India. As members of the cohesive business unit that serves the Middle East and South Asia clients, Malhotra has leveraged allied organisations by providing knowledge of local laws, regulations, markets and competition.

 

In fact, KPMG International is the coordinating entity for a global network of professional services firms, providing audit, tax, and advisory services. And under the able leadership of Malhotra, KPMG has been able to turn knowledge into value for the benefit of its clients and the capital markets. With nearly 94,000 people working in 717 cities in 148 countries, KPMG's India operation is one of the best professionally managed organisations.

And this has been possible because of Malhotra's versatile and dynamic leadership, which he has given to KPMG with unflagging devotion. It was as a result of Malhotra's sterling performance that apart from being country chairman of KPMG India, he was made the area managing partner, UAE & Oman, and member of the KPMG MESA regional Board. In fact, not many people know that when KPMG was going through a troubled phase globally, the India operations under Malhotra retained its usual luster and growth and were unaffected by the changing tide. Certainly, it takes a leader to read the writings on the wall, which makes him, stand head and shoulder above the rest.
