Stories about disability don’t have to be sad: Chartered Accountant on surviving train blasts and becoming an entrepreneur

• Hi, I am CA Chirag Chauhan. In 2006, at the age of 21, I suffered a ‘Debilitating Spinal Cord Injury’ in a Mumbai train blast and got confined to a wheelchair.
• Despite the odds – I completed my CA, worked in MNCs then quit my job to start a successful CA Firm named Chauhan & Co. and expertmile.com – a platform that lets consumers find professional services near them. 
• Here is how I have proved that a strong determination and will are far more important than a strong body.

From a carefree to a responsible teenager 

I was barely 18 when I lost my father. From then on, life changed.

Earlier I was like any other 18-year-old – I lived a carefree life and did not take anything in particular seriously, including my studies.
