Boston Consulting Group | Careers
BCG formally started operations in India in 1995, opening its offices after nearly a decade of work in the country. Today, we are located at Nariman Point in Mumbai, DLF Cybercity in Gurgaon, and Hyatt Regency in Chennai. BCG's Mumbai office has enjoyed great success since it opened more than 15 years ago. Our office is located in the heart of the city's commercial district and offers a panoramic view of the bay.
Reflecting its commitment to the Indian market, BCG's Mumbai office has established an impressive client list that includes leading domestic and international companies drawn from a wide range of industries, including financial services, consumer goods, industrial goods, health care, energy and utilities, and technology and communications. We also work closely with the government and nonprofit organizations on a range of issues ranging from policy formulation to supporting implementation for change.
Our office also offers functional expertise in corporate development, business strategy, marketing and sales, and operational and organizational change. Over time, the office has also developed insights into the many factors that determine success in the Indian business environment. At the same time, the team draws on BCG's worldwide staff, its depth of consulting capabilities, and its expertise.
Consultants who work in the Mumbai office learn about the entrepreneurial experience and added responsibility that comes with helping to build a business. This high-growth environment stimulates individual creativity and initiative. We have consistently drawn staff from prestigious institutes such as the Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Management, INSEAD, Wharton, and Harvard. BCG in India projects encompass the spectrum of challenges facing today's CEO. This gives our team an opportunity to build skills and gain knowledge and experience on critical strategic issues in India and beyond.
No Two Days Alike
When asked about their favorite part of the job, many BCG consultants talk about the variety—the huge range in types of projects they get to work on, as well as the varying tempo of their day-to-day work life. Consultants do spend some time at a desk doing analysis, but they are more often onsite with clients, out in the field, speaking with employees, vendors, and customers—asking questions and listening hard to the answers.
Consultants work on cases as a team, which includes representatives from all levels of our consulting staff. The team reports to a partner, who guides the work and stays actively involved. Everyone plays a crucial role on the team, irrespective of title or tenure. Collaboration is at the heart of BCG.
Case teams dig up qualitative and quantitative data and form hypotheses. We test theories, and we hone and polish our solutions. And in the end, we enable our clients to put a solution into practice—and run with it.
