Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – In a significant move that signals growing confidence in Uttar Pradesh’s economic potential, Deloitte India, one of the globally renowned Big Four professional services firms, has officially launched its new office in Gomti Nagar’s Vibhuti Khand, right at the heart of the city’s Central Business District.
This marks a historic first – Deloitte is the first among the Big Four (which includes PwC, EY, and KPMG) to set up shop in Lucknow, a step that is being seen as a major catalyst for the state’s private sector growth and its ambitious $1 trillion economy target by 2030.
Why Deloitte’s Move Matters
The new Lucknow office adds to Deloitte India’s growing presence in the country, now operating 19 offices across 14 cities. This expansion isn’t just about numbers – it reflects a strong commitment to tapping into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities as the next frontiers of business growth, innovation, and job creation.
Announcing the launch on Twitter (X.com) and its official site, Deloitte India stated:
“Deloitte India has become the first Big Four firm to establish an office in Lucknow, bolstering Uttar Pradesh’s ambitious goal of achieving a US$1 trillion economy by 2030.”
Fueling Employment and Business Opportunities
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Both the central and state governments have been aggressively pushing for IT and digital sector growth in Uttar Pradesh, especially in hubs like Lucknow, Noida, and Greater Noida. Deloitte’s entry is set to generate hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in the coming years, covering areas like IT consulting, public sector advisory, tax compliance, and digital transformation.
Moreover, the presence of a Big Four firm is expected to attract more corporate giants to the city, which could turn Lucknow into a thriving business and technology hub for North India.
Deloitte’s Role in UP’s Economic Vision
Romal Shetty, CEO of Deloitte South Asia, emphasized that Uttar Pradesh is emerging as a fast-growing electronics manufacturing and semiconductor hub, offering tremendous opportunities for businesses and professionals alike. He added:
“Tier-2 cities like Lucknow will be key drivers of India’s next wave of innovation and growth. We’re proud to contribute to that journey.”
Where’s the Office?
Deloitte’s new office is strategically located in Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, one of Lucknow’s most prominent commercial areas. The office is spread across 12,800 sq ft and is designed with green building principles, featuring energy-efficient systems, renewable energy integration, and sustainable waste management.
Final Thoughts: Why This Matters for You
If you’re a professional in IT, consulting, or finance, or a student looking for internships and skill development, this is a huge opportunity. Deloitte also plans to collaborate with local academic institutions, making Lucknow a hotspot for global-standard jobs and training programs.
As Uttar Pradesh sets its sights on becoming a $1 trillion economy, moves like these show that global companies are betting big on the state’s future potential—and that could mean new jobs, more investments, and rapid growth for the entire region.
