Proud to see that this time 7 Indians made to the Forbes list of 100 Richest billionaires of world.

Still I feel India needs more and more entrepreneurs who can contribute significantly to India's GDP and India's development. 

I suggest CA Students that  Don't look for job rather create job....Start your own practise or consultancies or a business. 

I believe, It's better to on the board of such companies whose books are audited by the big4s rather than being an employee at big4s.

I believe - "Mahlo may naukri karne se acha apni jhopri ka malik hona hai".

I know it's easy said than done but thats what ENTREPRENEURSHIP is all about.  It may be full of struggle initially but nothing in this world can beat the feeling of being your own boss. Remember 'Rome was not built in a day'. Jobs can only lead to frustrations at the end but working hard to create your own enterprise gives immense satisfacion.

Yes business is full of risks but nothing can teach you like failure. I believe one is not a businessman if he never incurred losses.

And don't you beleive that CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS can be really good at managing businesses???
