How this CA quit his Big 4 job & against all odds built a thriving due diligence firm in the sandy shores of Goa

• Hello, my name is Ashutosh Kharangate. I am a chartered accountant by profession.
• I belong to the beautiful coastal land of Goa and in 2010, owing to a turn of events I returned to Goa and started a Due Diligence & Advisory Practice of my own. 
• Was it easy? Of course not. Goa was definitely not ready for the kind of services I wanted to provide but I persisted.
• Today almost a decade later, Mangal Analytics and Research Consulting Pvt Ltd (MARC) – has grown to a team of 30 and a client size of 250 plus….making all the efforts worth it! 
• Here is my story.

From a dream to become a genetic engineer to a CA

While my father is a CA, at no point in time did I want to become a CA?

In those times, the ‘breaking news’ was of the first clone having been made. I was pretty fascinated by this and decided that I wanted to be a genetic engineer.

Fast forward, a few years later at a career guidance event I was convinced that CA is the best career option for me. Needless to say, my father was over the moon.
