AI seen more as an opportunity than risk: PwC’s Sam Samaratunga

PwC India’s risk business has more than doubled in size in the last two years and in another two months the partner count will cross 100, making India, along with the Middle East, the fastest-growing territories of scale globally, said Sam Samaratunga, global head of risk services at PwC.

For PwC and other Big Four firms, globally the risk business – which includes risk consulting, internal audit, cyber, forensics, risk managed services etc – has been one of the fastest-growing areas, along with tech consulting. The UK-based firm rakes in $8 billion through this business.
