Becoming the first CA in my family and career trajectory
From a background point of view, I am the first Chartered Accountant in my family. It was funny how I chose to do my CA. Most of my friends were studying CA, so I said let’s go and try becoming a CA.
If you want to do an engineering degree or become a doctor, any family has to shell out lots of money, which was in short supply at that point in time for me. So, becoming a CA made sense as I was good in Finance, Math, and Business Finance.
I qualified as a CA in 1998.
