MUMBAI: : KPMG in India has reappointed Yezdi Nagporewalla as chief executive officer for a second three-year term starting February 2027, signalling the firm’s commitment to strategic continuity and aggressive market focus.
The extension comes on the back of a strong growth run under Nagporewalla’s leadership, marked by robust client engagement, sharper governance, and a culture of integrity-driven performance. His current term, which ends in early 2027, will be followed immediately by the renewed stint.
“It’s been our privilege to have Yezdi lead the India firm over the past three years,” said KPMG India non-executive chairman Ajay Mehra,. “His ability to build trust and strengthen relationships with clients and people has been crucial. His insights will help scale the firm to a brighter future.”
“It is both my honour and privilege to have been re-appointed as the CEO, and I look forward to inspiring confidence and empowering change among our clients and colleagues,” Nagporewalla said. “My focus will be to continue sharpening the firm’s client focus, integrating innovative approaches, deepening expertise and enhancing our culture to unlock value for our clients. Over the past years, we have built trust among our stakeholders with a clear emphasis on ethics and quality which will remain our core. As a firm, we aim to realise the vision of being the ‘clear choice’ and ‘making the difference’ for our clients, people and public at large. We will double down on our focus towards both – nation building and our firm’s growth.”
Under his stewardship, the firm has significantly expanded its partner and director base, attracted top talent from rivals, and clocked strong performance metrics. With the India market evolving at pace, the decision underscores the board’s confidence in Nagporewalla’s vision to make KPMG the “clear choice” for clients and stakeholders.
