Key traits of Digital Natives
We provide tailored solutions to accelerate growth at every stage, including:
Grant Thornton Bharat has partnered with ProcMart, a trusted leader in B2B MRO procurement, to deliver streamlined and tech-enabled procurement solutions.
We offer a set of services and solutions that can help customers and entities identify and analyse dark patterns. Our in-house team of experts evaluates dark pattern compliance as per the guidelines.
We have collaborated with Happay, India’s leading T&E management solution provider, as its certified Implementation Partner. Our team of experts uses a reliable approach for implementation and provides assistance with technical configuration.
We offer assessment, implementation and application support services across Oracle, SAP and MSD ERP systems. Our EAS services assist organisations in navigating the constantly evolving regulatory landscape, ensuring they remain compliant and agile.
We offer a range of KYC, AML and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) solutions. Our experts work closely with organisations to understand risk profiles and address the key factors needed to build sustainable and compliant frameworks.
Tax laws and regulations are complex and constantly changing, and maintaining a sizable in-house tax division may not be very cost effective for organisations. Our tax compliance methodology provides businesses with an efficient way of handling their compliance workload and meeting deadlines.
We offer a structured framework (RADAR) to achieve organisational transformation by aligning key processes, activities and interactions with strategic objectives. Our team follows an integrated approach to understand your business ecosystem, establish the necessary infrastructure, guide teams in adopting new frameworks, and monitor their efficiency and effectiveness.

A leading textile manufacturer reached out to us to implement a business transformation initiative. The goal was to standardise practices, improve performance, and drive growth. A strategic action plan was developed using the Malcolm Baldrige Framework and Balanced Scorecard. This resulted in a 50% reduction in cutting losses, 100% elimination of excess accessories wastage, and a 2% improvement in winding process efficiency, reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
