What they do
Deloitte India provides a broad spectrum of services to help enterprises navigate complex business environments. Their consulting arm focuses on enterprise risk management, customer strategy, and digital transformation. They work with C-suite executives to solve strategic problems, implement robust governance frameworks, and leverage technology to optimize business processes. Their role is to provide objective, data-backed insights that help clients mitigate risks, capture market share, and streamline operations for sustainable growth.
How they make money
Deloitte operates on a professional services model, generating revenue through billable hours and fixed-fee project contracts. They leverage their reputation for quality and expertise to secure long-term mandates from large enterprises and government bodies, typically charging premiums for specialized domain knowledge.
Why it's interesting for a marketer
SR&T strategy work is where marketing thinking reaches the boardroom: market entry, pricing, customer segmentation, and portfolio and brand-level growth decisions backed by commercial due diligence. A marketer who can size a market, read consumer behaviour and translate demand-side signals into a revenue case brings exactly the lens these engagements need - most incoming consultants default to supply-side and finance framing.

Pro tips
- Do 8-10 live case practices before the drive, focused on guesstimates and profitability and market-entry cases. Business Interview 1 is won on structure spoken aloud, not on frameworks recited.
- Learn what SR&T actually covers - Strategy & Transactions, restructuring, and regulatory, risk and forensic work - so you can say why that specific mix appeals. Most candidates pitch generic 'strategy consulting' and it shows.
- Prepare three quantified CV stories (impact, conflict, ambiguity) as tight 60-90 second versions. Partner rounds lean on CV depth and a defensible industry point of view.
