Building a CA Firm in a tier 2 city in India and merging with Singhi & Co

• Hello, I am OP Singhania. In 1983, I made the bold move to return to Raipur from Kolkata and establish my CA Practice OP Singhania & Co. 
• Over the years we grew to become a leading CA firm, not only in Raipur but the entire state of Chhattisgarh. 
• However, in 2022, I faced a challenge; several of our clients who grew exponentially wanted to move to Branded firms – Big 4s or large national firms.
• So, what was my next step? I decided to merge with Singhi & Co.

Backstory

I was born and brought up in a small village near Raigarh, Chhattisgarh.

Back in the ’70s, we had no electricity and no English medium schools; life was tough, almost for everyone.
