  • Hi, I am Girish Viswanathan, a Company Secretary with more than 15 years of experience in the field of Secretarial, Legal & Tax.
  • I started my career as a Secretarial and Legal Trainee at a Listed Company in India. And in 2008 I moved to Dubai and have been working here with some amazing companies.
  • I am also a Chartered Secretary (ICSA) from the United Kingdom, a Company Secretary (ACS) & a Bachelor of Law (LLB) from India.
  • As I go down memory lane, I think I took a wise decision and I am very happy and contented with the profession I pursued.
  • Here is my journey of How I built a successful career as a Company Secretary and how you can too!

Forging my own path: Company Secretary or CA?

After class 10, when it was time to choose the field of my interest, I was confused…Science, Commerce, or Arts?

My father always wanted me to be an engineer and my mother was of the opinion that I would make a good Lawyer!

Like most kids, I happened to consult a few friends and they brainwashed me to get into commerce stating ‘Commerce is relatively easier than science and you can enjoy college life.’
