Tell us about yourself. 

Right after class 12^th exams, I enrolled for the Chartered Accountancy course. This was in 2008.

Hailing from a family of experienced Chartered Accountants, I had some guidance from them in terms of career options and prospects. One thing that excited me about pursuing CA was the experience of learning.

Another option that I had considered was pursuing an MBA after my graduation.
