In a first ever, Grant Thornton international, the world’s seventh largest and leading accounting firm has appointed an India-based partner to a global position.

Vikas Vasal, the National Tax Head for Grant Thornton Bharat has been promoted to the position of global tax head for Grant Thornton International.

Vasal has been associated with Grant Thornton since 2016 as the national managing partner, tax, prior to which he spent over 20 years with another firm in New Delhi, including a stint in New York.

With the pandemic restrictions in place, he will not be moving anytime soon but once travel restrictions are eased, he will relocate to London to work out of the company’s headquarters.

I look forward to bringing my experience from the dynamic Indian market to the benefit of the global organisation, including a renewed focus on tax technology and on global delivery.
