Corporate meets conservation! PwC India joins hands with Global Big Cats Alliance

Over the next year, the two organisations will work closely to develop conservation strategies, empower communities, raise awareness and support field programmes.

This collaboration will actively engage corporates and facilitate public-private partnerships (PPPs) to enhance private sector involvement in big cat conservation.

Dr. S.P. Yadav, Director General, IBCA, said, “Our collaboration with PwC India brings valuable expertise and a powerful platform to amplify conservation finance, community stewardship, and partnerships. Together, we can accelerate progress to safeguard big cats and their habitats — a cause that resonates far beyond conservation circles.”

“We are proud to join hands with IBCA in this meaningful endeavour to help co-create solutions to protect iconic big cat species that play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance," said Sambitosh Mohapatra, Partner and Leader – Sustainability Transformation, PwC India. “This collaboration allows us to apply our strategic and operational strengths in new ways, advancing sustainability goals that benefit both nature and communities. Such initiatives create unique business opportunities along with equitable and inclusive growth.”

As part of the collaboration, PwC India and IBCA will jointly organise three major conservation events over a 12-month period — an international convening, a national-level workshop and a webinar dedicated to landscape restoration and habitat conservation.
