professional journey of 10 years since 2007, has been full of special moments, which I would

cherish for all times to come… My term as Chairman has been truly a learning experience. I

have tried to transform my tenure into a worth-reading Chapter in the history of our Branch

and wish that all such chapters to be written in future turn out to be golden ones for the

Branch and its members.'

This year we Grew Bigger and Better

I believe that with every rising sun, you rejoice at a journey that has begun, and with every

setting sun, you rejoice at the victories that you have achieved and the paths that you paved for

victories the next day. I am handing over the baton of Branch leadership to my successorin this

very spirit, with much to rejoice for. We have indeed come a long way in a short span of one

year. I am proud to say that the Gandhidham Branch is today a more robust, energetic and

futuristic organisation than a year ago. I am happy to recall that in the last one year during

which I led the glorious journey of our Branch, it has not only grown bigger and better but has

also paved way for a brighter tomorrow for the members and profession. There has been a

phenomenal rise in status, prestige and image of Gandhidham Branch in public eye.

When I took over the reins of the Branch, I had a mission of Moving towards New Frontiers

with the ultimate vision of excellence. I am proud to say that we have accomplished most of the

Mission 2016- 17 with panache. Today I am contented that 2016-17 proved to be a path-

breaking year in this respect. Besides this, we have not only set several milestones and

overcome many challenges with the spirit of true partner in nation building but also

triumphed many hitherto unchartered territories of professional capabilities in various

spheres of the economy and society.

Special Thanks....

These achievements were not possible without the active and unflinching support of CA Kartik

Varaiya as Vice Chairman, CA Animesh Modi as Secretary, CA Rajendra Shah as Treasurer, CA

Karan Thacker and CA Jyoti Harsh and all my colleagues in the Profession. I humbly thank all of

them. I also express my gratitude towards Past Chairman and other well-wishers for their

encouragement and support.

On a personal note I also take this opportunity to say special thanks to my parents, whose

motivation and inspiration has kept me committed to our profession for more than decades. I

am also indebted to my wife and children understanding my overbearing pre-occupation with

the affairs of our alma mater Branch, and their unfathomable and inexpressible support and

encouragement in the process.

I am not going to give you list of achievements by our branch during 2016-17. Rather, I will

convey my gratitude to members and students for reposing faith on me and making each and

every event a grand success by participating in large numbers.

As I Bid Adieu, I Feel Overwhelmed by your Love....

As I sign off as Chairman of Gandhidham Branch of ICAI, I feel overwhelmed by the love and

affection showered on me and the confidence reposed in me by all of you. I would particularly

remember the great warmth demonstrated by members during the seminars and workshops

and the love and respect shown by students whom I met at different programmes. The most

satisfying and rewarding thing was the loud accolades I received for my path-breaking and

offbeat initiatives. All this has been the source of my strength and has energised me to work

aggressively for the cause of the profession.

On a personal front also, my Chairmanship has been a cauldron of rich, vivid and heart-

warming experiences-professionally, personally, mentally, culturally, geographically as well as

in culinary terms. These included meeting President of ICAI, Vice President of ICAI, Ministers,

all regulators, bureaucrats, ambassadors and members and students from different cultures

across the branch. It was enlightening to see how our profession has made deep inroads into



2 0 1 7

Indian polity, policy making and different levels of economy and society, and binds so many

cultures, time-zones and people together.

During this journey I had some never-before experiences like tasting variety of cuisines, having

little sleep, no exercise, no leisure, travelling through the deserts in Rajasthan and through

hills, plains, plateaus and mountains in extreme weather conditions by road, air, water and

train. and getting stranded at the airports.

Let me share with you that on occasions I have been seen as too demanding and too

perfectionist, which perhaps is right in view of ever-rising expectations from our stakeholders

and the need for a Chairman to be a role model for fellow professionals. To honour the

Chairman’s image I did try to project myself as best as I could because unless a man inspired

himself to greater achievements how can he inspire the world around him.

My term as Chairman has been truly a learning experience during which I could understand

the challenges and potential of our profession in a better way. I have tried to transform my

tenure into a worth-reading Chapter in the history of our Branch and wish that all such

chapters to be written in future turn out to be golden ones for the Branch and its members.

I assure all of you that I will use my insights gained as the Chairman for the betterment of the

profession and branch and will always be available for all of you.
