“It gives me immense pleasure to share that ICAI national network of branches now expanded to 174 branches with approval of 3 new branches in Darbhanga, Neemuch & Muzaffarpur. During the period, we have inaugurated two new branches Mandsaur and Rajsamand, an additional reading room for students in Rohtak, laid the foundation stone of the new Jalandhar branch building and inaugurated the Ozone Park in Amritsar”, said President CA. Aniket Sunil Talati, during his last monthly address before relinquishing the office.
“In this landmark 75th year, witnessing our Institute emerge as the largest and a global force fills me with pride. With the constant pursuit of excellence, I am confident that we will continue our ascent to new heights of glory.
While my official role may conclude, our connections and shared endeavours will last forever and in my last communiqué I would once again like to reiterate what I always say that we must all believe that ‘I am the “I” in ICAI’. As I conclude, I would like to pen down the quote of Ralph Waldo Emerson “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Though my tenure as the President of this coveted Institute comes to an end, I will continue to engage and contribute to my noble profession in every possible manner. Au revoir !!”, he added.
