About Gerald Prabhu

As Microsoft Alliance Leader at PwC India, I lead the firm’s alliance strategy and go-to-market execution with Microsoft, with a mandate to position PwC as Microsoft’s preferred partner in India. I focus on co-selling, co-innovating, and scaling industry-specific solutions across Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem—spanning Business Applications (Dynamics 365), Power Platform, Azure, and Copilot.With over two decades of experience in enterprise technology consulting, I’ve been part of marquee digital transformation programs, including one of the largest Microsoft CRM deployments in India. My journey includes leadership roles at multiple Big 4 firms, where I’ve helped clients reimagine customer and operations workflows across Financial Services, Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Public Sector.Earlier, I co-founded C Centric Solutions, a CRM-focused Microsoft and Oracle partner that served large enterprises across India and the Middle East. This entrepreneurial chapter sharpened my instincts for growth, delivery, and long-term value creation—principles I bring into my current alliance and consulting roles.Outside the corporate world, I am deeply committed to the growth of rugby in India and Asia. I currently serve on the Executive Committee of Asia Rugby and was a Governing Council Member of Rugby India, where I played a key role in modernizing governance, launching the Rugby Premier League, and expanding both grassroots and high-performance pathways.I believe that alliances—whether in business or sport—are built on trust, purpose, and execution. Let’s connect if you’re working at the intersection of ecosystems, innovation, and impact.
