  • Hello! My name is Mohit Kapoor; a Chartered Accountant and finance leader.
  • Would you believe me if I told you that it took me 11 attempts to clear CA Final exams? Whew! What a worthwhile journey.
  • I constantly find strength in Sylvester “Rocky” Stallone’s words: “Going on one more round when you don’t think you can, that’s what makes all the difference in your life!”
  • Even though the journey was long and rocky, I developed professional acumen.
  • I am currently working with PayPal, a global payments technology company, as an India Finance Controller, based out of Mumbai. My eleven attempts were definitely worth it all.
  • Here is my story.

Deciding to pursue Chartered Accountancy

I grew up in the beautiful city of Nawabs, Lucknow (India).

Upon realizing my affinity for numbers and gaining inspiration from my CA uncle, I was encouraged to take up Chartered Accountancy as a profession.

After securing good merit in senior secondary, I gained admission at Hindu College, University of Delhi to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons).
