Accenture has devised this excellent plan to kill competition

Accenture is going to acquire mid-size consultancy firms in India in a bid to position itself as a major consultancy player in India.

Accenture will focus on acquiring product side finance, human resource and supply chain, to edge out its competitors-Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PwC and KPMG.

Fabio Vacira, senior managing director for products lead, Asia Pacific at Accenture Consulting told ET that small-to medium-sized specialised consulting companies are the prime focus.

“In India, the turnaround space is becoming like a catalyst, where everyone from McKinsey to the big four are competing. What we try to do to differentiate ourselves is the execution of the turnaround," said Vacira.

Meanwhile, Accenture is also helping businesses manage their operations, including developing a supply chain or even developing some products or services.
