A brief look at where it all started

I grew up in a small town called Sardar Shahar in the state of Rajasthan (India) where knowledge and awareness of various career opportunities were limited.

I was good at Math, so I decided to pursue the Commerce stream and soon completed my graduation. This was in the mid-80s.

At that time, two people from my town had completed their Chartered Accountancy. The respect they received and the comfortable life that they led, encouraged me to consider CA as a career option.
