December 2024

Russell Bedford International has announced the appointment of Delhi-based IPPC Group as the global network's second member in India.

Founded in 1978 by senior partner Inderpal Singh Pasricha, IPPC Group has grown significantly over the years.

Serving more than 300 private and public clients, including multinational and domestic enterprises, the group comprises two main entities: I.P. Pasricha & Co Chartered Accountants and PMC Consultants Pvt Ltd, a business consulting firm.

With a team of 90 professionals across eight offices in northern and central India, the group offers a wide range of services. These include internal and external audit, tax, advisory, and business process outsourcing (BPO).

The group's expertise spans many sectors, including media, IT, telecoms, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.

Speaking about the appointment, Russell Bedford CEO, Stephen Hamlet, said: “It is a pleasure to welcome IPPC Group as our second member in India. For the most part, the new group and our existing member, Sharp & Tannan, provide complementary service-lines.  So, as well as considerably enhancing our presence in India, the move greatly broadens our network's scope of services for domestic and international clients.”

IPPC Group managing partner, Maneet Pal, added: “We aim to provide a comprehensive suite of services beyond traditional audit and taxation. This diversification allows us to cater to a wide range of client needs. Our goal is to serve multinational clients and access emerging markets while leveraging local expertise. Joining Russell Bedford allows us to expand our reach and network, collaborate with other like-minded firms, and access resources and expertise that can help us provide better services to our clients."
