It was a lively and memorable day when PwC’s team visited Indira University. The session began with felicitation of the guests. Though many students expected a heavy dose of lectures on taxation and related topics, the presenters instead lightened the atmosphere by asking fun questions like “Who is your favourite fictional character?” and “If you had 25 hours in a day, how would you use the extra hour?” These fun prompts got everyone laughing and thinking. It created a warm, relaxed start that set the tone for the rest of the session.

Once the ice-breaker concluded, the formal presentation began. Representatives from PwC explained what PwC is and what they do — spanning audit and assurance, tax and regulatory services, consulting and advisory, deals and managed services. They described how PwC helps clients build trust, reinvent business models, handle complexity, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving corporate world. They also laid out what a student’s journey with PwC could look like. Students learned about various career paths. The importance of tax as a career option was emphasised, combining technical know-how with real-world business understanding.

To prepare aspiring professionals for placement and real-world challenges, PwC talked about their “Launchpad Program”, which will provide both theoretical and practical training to the students. Through Launchpad, students get exposure to what working at PwC would be like, bridging the gap between academic learning and corporate demands.

During the event a video was shown that portrayed the “PwC journey” – giving a real sense of what life at PwC looks like, and what the future could hold for those starting early.

After that, more fun: PwC posed questions about itself, and students who answered correctly won prizes. The energy in the room was competitive but friendly. The prizes added a playful touch to learning about a serious career. There was a photograph session towards the end in which the students who had already been selected and are slated to join PwC in January posed with the PwC team, smiles and hopeful faces capturing the start of a new chapter!

Finally, a “speed-networking” session allowed all students to interact directly with PwC representatives, ask questions, clarify doubts, and get a feel for the culture and expectations.

Overall the event felt inclusive, engaging, and human — not just a corporate presentation, but an experience that made students feel seen, heard, and inspired. The university’s initiative to invite PwC to campus gave everyone a firsthand look at possibilities, and a sense of what could await those who join.
