Hi fishes,

I joined
KPMG KDNI a little over a month ago, Salesforce stack. There are currently no projects, and out of ~40–45 members, about 35 have been on the bench for 3+ months, some since Dec 2025.

Can someone share thoughts on the risk of being on the bench here, and how project allocation or layoffs are usually handled in KDNI? Trying to understand the situation better KPMG , KPMG India, KPMG Global Services (KGS) , Kpmg india services llp
