Global management consultancy firm KPMG has set up a separate unit in India that will help manage risks of global corporations.

The new centre for excellence -- KPMG Resource Centre Private Ltd (KRCPL) -- will deploy skilled professionals from India to service KPMG's global clients.

"Going forward, this centre will provide KPMG with global advisors from India -- not only in the field of information risk maagement but also for other risk and business advisory functions," KPMG executive director and KRCPL CEO, Pradeep Udhas said in a statement.
KPMG India has already deployed 150 professionals in KRCPL, where it has 50 per cent stake.
