Yezdi Nagporewalla reappointed CEO of KPMG in India for second term

Professional services firms KPMG in India has announced the re-appointment of Yezdi Nagporewalla as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for a second term, which will span three-years, beginning February 2027. The extension will take effect immediately after the expiry of his current term.

"Yezdi’s leadership has been a driving force behind the firm’s strategic priorities, strengthening governance, deepening client relationships, and enhancing the culture of integrity and performance leading to strong growth momentum for the firm," the company said.

KPMG added the decision underscores the India board’s and the India partners' belief in continuity and a sharpened market focus as the firm continues the growth journey.

“It has been our privilege to have Yezdi lead the India firm over the last three years. His strength lies in maintaining and strengthening relationships with our clients and people. His insights and experience will help scale the firm to a better and brighter future,” said Ajay Mehra, Non-Executive Chairman at KPMG in India.

On his re-appointment, Yezdi says his 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.”

Over the past four years, KPMG India has seen rapid growth across metrics, with the number of partners and directors having significantly increased. "During this period, we have also attracted numerous talented partners from various firms. The firm continues to aim for newer heights, and under Yezdi’s continued leadership, KPMG in India will build further on the momentum of recent years, deepen our impact with clients, and remain a trusted partner in a dynamic business environment," the company said.
