Tell me about yourself and why you decided to pursue CA.

Hailing from a town called Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh, growing up I always wanted to join my family business.

Keeping this goal in mind, I took up the Commerce Stream and joined the family business while still in college.

However, the turning point was when my uncle persuaded me to study further and have a professional qualification like Chartered Accountancy.
