An overview of the Indian consulting industry. The consulting industry can trace its roots back to the late 19th century, when the world’s first, modern consultancy firms were founded. From the turn of the century, management consulting – which focused mainly on engineering and finance early on – increasingly gained terrain in the business world.
Nearly a century down the line, the consulting industry has developed into one of the most mature sectors in the professional services industry, generating between $100 billion to $300 billion in revenues, in the current times.
