Manish Aggarwal Exits KPMG as Co-Head of Deal Advisory

Manish Aggarwal, co-head of deal advisory at KPMG, has stepped down from his role, marking another high-profile exit from the firm’s advisory unit.

Aggarwal played a significant role in some of the firm’s key transactions, including Brookfield’s exit from highways and JSW Energy’s acquisition of Mytrah Energy. While his next career move has not been disclosed, the resignation highlights the ongoing leadership challenges at KPMG.

This development follows a series of high-level exits from the unit last year, when deal advisory and M&A tax heads Rohit Berry and Vivek Gupta left to join Deloitte. According to sources, the business is struggling with increased competition for the best advising personnel.
