PwC survey: India CEOs focus on hiring, threat of tech disruption

A majority of India’s chief executive officers (CEOs) — 87 per cent — are optimistic about domestic growth, with more than 68 per cent likely to increase their headcount in the next 12 months, according to PwC’s 28th Annual Global CEO Survey: India Perspective, being released at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday. However, unlike their global counterparts, who are more concerned about macroeconomic volatility, inflation, and cyber risks, Indian CEOs identified technological disruption as their top threat, the survey found.
