A network built for combined strength, without common ownership.
The P G BHAGWAT LLP NETWORK is a network of independent Chartered Accountancy firms registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India under Registration No. W/00003. It is constituted under the lead-firm model of the ICAI Networking Guidelines, with P G BHAGWAT LLP as the lead firm. The network exists for professional cooperation and the presentation of combined strength — it is not a partnership, LLP, merger or common-ownership arrangement, and every member firm remains legally, financially and managerially independent.
Vision, mission, quality & goal.
To be recognised among India's most trusted and technically excellent networks of independent Chartered Accountancy firms — offering the depth and reach of a large firm with the independence and personal attention of a local practice.
To pool the expertise, technology and reach of our member firms to deliver assurance and advisory of the highest quality, and to take on larger, more complex assignments than any single firm could alone — while safeguarding the independence and identity of every member firm.
Every engagement, whichever firm delivers it, is executed to one standard — governed by ICAI's Standards on Quality Management (SQM 1 & 2), a common methodology and a network-wide independence protocol. Quality, objectivity and integrity are never subordinated to commercial considerations.
To grow the network responsibly across India — adding like-minded firms, deepening sector and technical specialisation, and investing in technology and people — so that clients receive consistent, technology-led service wherever they operate.
Three firms. One network.
Three independent firms — P G BHAGWAT LLP as lead firm, with Nikhil Kenjale & Co and JDP & Co as member firms — each keeping its own registration, partners and clients. Together, their 19 partners bring more than 300 years of combined professional experience.

JDP & Co
500+ clients
JDP & Co offers assurance, tax, regulatory and advisory services to clients in India and around the world, with deep industry experience across technology, communications, infrastructure, real estate and pharmaceuticals. The firm also supports offshore engagements and US CPA firms, and delivers India-entry and Virtual CFO services to multinational clients.
How member firms present the network
On every network assignment, each member firm discloses its affiliation using the approved expression —
— always shown alongside the firm's own name, and never in a way that implies partnership, merger or common ownership. On independent private assignments, a firm acts solely in its own name.
Years reflect each partner's professional experience; where a firm does not publish a figure, the partner's specialism and key credentials are shown instead.
Coordinated by a Network Committee.
The network is coordinated by a Network Committee with representation from every member firm and led by P G BHAGWAT LLP. The committee guides the network's shared quality and independence framework, the allocation of engagements, and the network's growth — so that clients experience one consistent standard across all member firms.
