Growth Outlook
Stable — India's expanding MSME sector, GST formalization, IndAS convergence, and listed-company governance norms keep accountant demand high. ICAI adds ~50K new CAs per year and absorption remains strong; entry-level commerce-grad accountant roles face automation pressure but qualified CAs and FP&A specialists remain in deficit.
