PwC to acquire Bengaluru-based Venerate Solutions

PwC India Leader-Advisory Arnab Basu said the acquisition marks the beginning of the inorganic growth aspirations of the advisory business in India. The transaction is expected to close in the coming few weeks, subject to customary closing conditions.
