Oliver Wyman, a Marsh McLennan business, has appointed Sumit Sarawgi as the new head of its India operations. With over 20 years of experience in strategic consulting, business transformation, and digital innovation, Sarawgi is poised to drive Oliver Wyman’s growth and expansion in the Indian market.

Sarawgi joins Oliver Wyman after nearly 17 years at Boston Consulting Group, where he was a Managing Director and Senior Partner, advising clients across industries on transformative strategies and delivering operational excellence.

Pedro Oliveira, Managing Partner for Oliver Wyman, India, Middle East and Africa, said in a statement: “As a growing market for us, Sumit’s deep understanding of the business landscape, along with his experience of working with global clients, aligns with Oliver Wyman’s expertise-driven approach that will be instrumental in delivering exceptional value to our clients in the next chapter of our journey in India”.

Sarawgi succeeds Ajay Gupta and Aarti Nihalani, who have been co-leading Oliver Wyman’s India Market, driving significant growth of Oliver Wyman’s India business over the past few years, the company said.

Sarawgi added, “The management consulting industry in India is at the cusp of transformation. Clients today seek agility and innovation that goes beyond traditional approaches, and Oliver Wyman is well positioned to deliver on this need. We are not just expanding our footprint—we are creating new markets in management consulting that existing players are yet to serve”.
