Humble Beginnings: Pursuing Chartered Accountancy

I was born in the Industrial City of India Ludhiana, Punjab.

My father, Mr. Baldev Raj Vohra has worked as an Accountant with various entities throughout his career while my mother, Mrs. Nirmal Kanta Vohra has been a homemaker. I also have two younger siblings.

Growing up in a middle-class family, with very limited resources taught me early a lot of lessons in life…the biggest being ‘to use resources optimally’. This quality helps me even today in my professional life.
