Dear Members,
I am thankful to all of you for electing me as the President of this esteemed institutionand I assure you that I will render my services to the best of my ability.I seek your kind co-operation and guidance in all the activities of our Association. ACAE has grown leaps and bounds in the recent years with every successive President taking the Association to newer and greater heights. The year, 2023-24 under the able leadership of Mr. Sumit Binani was no different. We saw so many new ideas, initiatives, and events which were all accomplished with great success. I would like to carry forward these activities with more zeal and enthusiasm in my term as the President.

CA. TARUN KUMAR GUPTA
Before going into my thoughts and plans for the Term 2024-25, I would like to reflect a bit on my journey in ACAE. I had joined ACAE as a Life Member sometime in 2007. I became active in ACAE sometime in the year 2012-13 when I started my own practice after completing 11 years in service with PwC. CA. Rishi Khator, President in the Year 2014-15 first inducted me as a Special Invitee and then CA. Madhav Sureka, President in the Year after that i.e. 2015-16 elevated me as a member of the Executive Committee. I became Treasurer under the Presidentship of CA. Anup Sanghai in the year 2020-21 and since then have been serving as an office bearer. I will be the 63rdPresident of ACAE and let me inform the august gathering that I will be the 5th combination of Father-Son duo to become the President of ACAE. The Past -Presidents in this combination are Shri. Sukumar Bhattacharya and Shri. Sanjay Bhattacharya, Shri. B.S.Kothari and Shri. Amitav Kothari, Shri. K.L.Chatrath and Shri Indu Chatrath, Shri. G.P.Agarwal and Shri. Arvind Agarwal and Shri. S.M.Gupta and myself. I am indeed thankful to God for having bestowed me with this opportunity to carry on this legacy and serve the members of ACAE.
I would now like to share some of mythoughts on the focus areas during my Presidentship tenure. I have a short AV which will introduce the theme for this year:
I would now like to share some of mythoughts on the focus areas during my Presidentship tenure. I have a short AV which will introduce the theme for this year:
The Theme for this year is “RISE”. I firmly believe that we as an Association, we as a profession, we as a Society and we as an individual have to RISE to meet the growing challenges and make best use of the opportunities that lay before us. To me, RISE means
- To rise beyond…
- To rise further…
- To rise higher… and To rise above.
