FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear BCAS Family,

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” As I share my first communique with you as President, I thank you all for having reposed your trust in me to assume this responsibility. I am aware of the long journey and the tremendous responsibility of my new role to help take BCAS to greater heights. But with your support, I have ventured to take the first step. And even though the task ahead looks very challenging, I am committed to walking the ‘talk’ as defined in my acceptance speech.

You would have noticed that my plan for the year ahead is, in many ways, a seamless continuation of immediate past President Abhay Mehta’s ESG theme, which aimed to meet the standards of empowerment, scaling and globalizing as expected from an institution like ours.

I have ‘EASE’ as my theme, which stands for Excellence Achieved by Systemic Empowerment. We, as a team, look forward to providing considerable ‘ease’ in enabling all of us to rise to the next level of excellence. During the year ahead, we will focus our energies, talents and investments to ensure ‘ease’ in accessing knowledge, embracing emerging opportunities, networking and reskilling. Through this plan, we hope to provide our members abundant opportunities throughout the year to raise the bar in their professional practices; and make BCAS an even stronger organisation.
