Alvarez & Marsal Bets Big on India's Infrastructure
A big consulting company called Alvarez & Marsal is making a big bet on India's infrastructure.
They're planning to hire lots more people there because they think India's economy is growing fast and needs a lot of new roads, buildings, and other infrastructure.
Even though the U.S. has put taxes on some Indian goods, the company thinks India's infrastructure projects will be fine.
They help make sure projects don't cost too much or take too long.
The company's boss thinks India has a lot of potential for the future and they are building their business there.
Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) plans to triple its India headcount for infrastructure services.
A&M is expanding due to rising demand in sectors like energy, transport, and digital infrastructure.
The firm believes US tariffs on India will not significantly impact infrastructure projects.
A&M's global infrastructure unit has been growing at 40% annually, with India potentially exceeding this.
A&M focuses on strategic advisory and improving project efficiency through better planning.
