  • Hi, I am Vaibhav Mandhana, I am a proud Chartered Accountant and Entrepreneur from India who loves technology.
  • After working for seven years at Grant Thornton, I decided to unleash my full potential as an entrepreneur.
  • In 2015, I launched ‘Flookup Advisors’ as a one-man show and eventually asked my friends to join me...today we are a 40-member team.
  • Here is my story of how I bootstrapped my consultancy firm and went a step ahead to provide technological solutions to my clients and other CA firms, thus helping them ride the wave of digitization!

Pursuing CA with the intention to study an MBA 

I was an above-average student who never dreamt of becoming a CA.

I always wanted to study for an MBA from a good business school. Since it can only be pursued after graduation, I registered for the CA course from The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)…just to improve my resume, MBA was still the plan! 

After clearing two levels of CA exams from my hometown Jaipur (India), I moved to the financial capital of India – Mumbai to complete my articles at a large CA firm.
