- Hi, I’m Arvind Devanathan a Chartered Accountant and Entrepreneur from India.
- In 2010, after almost 2 decades of working in the industry and as a Partner at Big 4 firms, at the age of 48, I founded D Arvind & Associates LLP.
- Today our firm comprises 5 Partners and more than 120 employees with headquarters in Mumbai and offices in Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Coimbatore, and Hyderabad.
- Here is my story.
From 41% in 10th grade to CA on the first attempt

The sudden transition made it difficult for me to cope with things and as expected I failed in many subjects. In fact, I just scraped through and was promoted to the next class.
