During an investor call, Sweet highlighted that the majority of new hires will be concentrated in India, which the company views as a major growth driver as it approaches fiscal year 2025.
Sweet emphasized that while Accenture hires globally, a substantial portion of technology-related hiring is concentrated in India to refresh the workforce pyramid and drive growth.
The firm is also investing in GenAI and other technology-driven services, aiming for a workforce of 80,000 in data and AI by the end of FY 2025.
