You just need to be able to spin your experience super well, and that should be doable given you have been on engagements.

Once you make the interview, it's just about demonstrating knowledge of that particular area, even if you haven't done a specific engagement on it. You will just need to research a little more than most and make sure you are able to articulate it well.

I was in ops transformation at a big 4, think process mapping, cost out, op model etc. and managed to transition into a product strategy role in T2 tech, and others in my area have moved into other similar corp strategy roles. This is also coming from KPMG 😄

While Indian consulting folks supporting the US folks do the bulk of the analysis, churning out the data and making the ppts, all the US folks do is attend meetings.
