India Aims to Curb Reliance on MNCs for Strategic Audits
Imagine India wants to have its own home team for big important jobs like auditing and consulting, instead of always hiring the global giants.
The government thinks this will make India stronger economically.
Currently, Indian firms can't easily compete because of rules that prevent them from working together like the international companies.
The government is changing these rules to help Indian companies grow and be competitive.
They're asking for ideas from everyone on how to make this happen, hoping to create 'Made in India' versions of the world's biggest consulting and auditing firms.
