From The President

My Dear BCAS Family,

As I pen down my thoughts for the first time after taking over as the President of this august institution in its 77th year, I am filled with mixed feelings, both of joy as well as introspection considering that I am the second oldest person to assume this office! I also feel destiny and providence has also played a part in this journey which I refer to as my third inning. My first innings began with a professional services firm for 30 years till March 2015. In my second innings, I began undertaking my personal practice coupled with social service activities and also serving as an independent director and trustee in companies and NPOs, which I am still continuing with. It was during this period that I also got an opportunity to serve BCAS which was a consistent part of my life! Whilst I have played multiple roles during this journey, a significant portion thereon was devoted to BCAS which in a way became my second home, culminating with my appointment as a President. This is what I refer to as destiny and providence. Now I am before you all in my third innings!

Before proceeding further, I refer to the change of guard at the Journal with CA Sunil Gabhawalla taking over as the Editor in place of CA Mayur Nayak. I would like to place on record
