• MGB & Co: Long-established Indian chartered accountancy firm with similar multi-city presence and audit/tax/advisory mix. Directly comparable in scale and legacy-brand positioning to BKK.
• Grant Thornton India: Large mid-tier international accounting network in India. Closest direct peer in scale and positioning, competing for the same mid-cap listed companies, SMEs, and transaction advisory work that BKK serves.
