Mentorship and Institutional Building

Beyond client engagements, mentoring has remained a defining element of Bansal’s leadership style. Within KPMG and across industry platforms, he has worked closely with senior professionals and emerging leaders, focusing on judgement, client stewardship, and sectoral depth. He is particularly invested in building multidisciplinary teams capable of navigating complex, cross-border mandates.

“Strong institutions are built by strong people,” he believes. “Mentorship is about creating confidence, clarity, and ethical grounding—especially in environments where decisions carry long-term consequences.”

He also places deep importance on psychological safety. In environments where people are allowed to question, fail, and learn, judgement improves and innovation follows. For him, leadership is not about avoiding mistakes but learning faster from them.

This emphasis on institutional capability mirrors his broader view of India’s development challenge: growth must be supported by systems—not personalities.

Client-Centric, Outcome-Led Leadership

Today, Bansal manages several global client relationships, delivering integrated solutions across strategy, risk, operations, and transformation. His advisory portfolio spans more than 500 engagements, built on long-standing relationships defined by trust, discretion, and outcomes.

His professional grounding across internal audit, corporate finance, and telecom advisory roles within other Big Four firms gave him a multi-dimensional perspective on business challenges, allowing him to translate regulatory complexity, financial constraints, and operational realities into actionable strategies tailored to each client’s context.
