Who we are

The McKinsey Knowledge Center (McKC) in India is the largest and most diverse knowledge hub of McKinsey. We offer an outstanding opportunity to professionals to join the Knowledge Network and work with consultants to deliver exceptional impact.

The McKinsey Knowledge Center, which was established in Gurgaon 11 years ago as a purely secondary research capability supporting consulting teams, has evolved into an innovative knowledge services hub and is now located in both Gurgaon and Chennai. It currently boasts more than 25 functional and industry practices representing a microcosm of McKinsey—specialized analytics and research teams with access to a global network of experts to draw insights and support consulting teams across all McKinsey offices. We pride ourselves on our:

Innovative culture

McKC has been at the forefront of knowledge innovations at McKinsey. From delivering solutions such as rapid access research to specialized analytics and industry and functional Centers of Competence, our history is replete with examples of how innovation and entrepreneurship are at the heart of our operating culture.

Global reach

In the spirit of our “One Firm” philosophy, we are tightly integrated with our global knowledge network. The Knowledge Network comprises more than 1,500 professionals based in global knowledge centers in India, the US, Poland, and Costa Rica, as well as more than 90 other locations worldwide. It is one of McKinsey's most distinctive competitive advantages that helps us solve the most critical and challenging problems for our clients.

Long-term value proposition

We are the destination of choice for the best talent in India. Much of this is due to our unique culture of “make your own McKinsey” and the learning opportunities we offer. No two paths at McKinsey are the same. People who started with us are playing senior leadership roles at the center and elsewhere in McKinsey; some of them are renowned subject matter experts in their field, and many of our alumni have gone on to play leadership roles in their organizations or are entrepreneurs. All of them attribute their success to what they learned during their time at McKC.
