BDO in India

What BDO in India does

BDO in India is a Mumbai-headquartered professional services firm and member of BDO International, one of the world's largest accounting networks. The firm provides a full suite of audit, tax, advisory, consulting, and outsourcing services to enterprise clients across sectors including financial services, telecommunications, power, manufacturing, and jewelry. BDO India has differentiated itself in high-stakes forensic audit work, with appointments by SEBI and the Bombay High Court on matters involving Rajesh Exports, Reliance Communications, HNG, and the Anil Ambani fraud classification proceedings. The firm operates through direct enterprise engagement and has a dedicated technology arm, BITS (BDO India Technology Services), which is being positioned as a separate growth vehicle alongside a non-audit services company.

The firm's business model is based on quote-based professional services engagements with enterprise clients, with revenue streams split across audit and assurance, tax advisory, and increasingly technology partnership services such as the Ramco Systems Payce platform launched in 2026. BDO India is investing in AI and agentic AI tools to automate audit data ingestion, enable full-population testing, and improve anomaly detection. The Infusai acquisition in October 2024 strengthened its AI and data capabilities. In 2025, the firm restructured from an LLP to a company structure at a Rs 750 crore valuation and entered exploratory talks with 3-4 private equity firms to raise growth capital via a 15-25% dilution in BITS and the non-audit services entity. Proceeds are earmarked for expansion beyond India and consolidation of BDO member firms across the Asia-Pacific region. The firm employs 5,001-10,000 people and is part of BDO International, the world's fifth-largest accounting network.
