Dear Esteemed Members,

Warm greetings to all of you.

April 2026 has been a landmark month for Anand Branch - one that truly exemplifies what our fraternity stands for: learning, leadership, and lasting impact. It gives me immense pride to share the journey we have walked together this month.

We commenced April on a powerful note with the "Mind Over Marks" seminar on 1st April - a special session for our CA students by renowned psychologist Ms. Niyati Mehta of Ahmedabad. In a profession as demanding as ours, mental resilience is as important as technical knowledge. I am delighted to say that our students responded with overwhelming enthusiasm, and the session left a transformative impression.

The heart of April, however, was our flagship Income Tax Learning & Reading Series on the New Income Tax Act, 2025 - conducted over four Saturdays on 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th April. An outstanding panel of faculties - CA Mehul Thakkar, CA Virat Bhavsar, CA Palak Pavagadhi, CA Rushi Shah, Adv. Jignesh Parikh, CA Harit Dhariwal, and CA Abhishek Nagori - delivered sessions of exceptional depth and clarity. The packed auditorium on every single day was a testament to the hunger for knowledge that defines this branch.

I am also deeply proud to congratulate several of our members who have been nominated to various committees of WIRC of ICAI for 2026-27. Each of them represents the finest of our branch's talent and dedication.

Looking ahead to May, I am thrilled to announce the "Gyanvivechan" — an Analytical Discourse on Knowledge Conference, to be held on 21st & 22nd May 2026 at Madhubhan Resort & Spa, Anand. Organized by the Professional Development Committee of ICAI and jointly hosted by Anand Branch and Vadodara Branch, this promises to be a landmark event offering 12 CPE hours across two power-packed days. I urge every member to register and participate.

Together, let us continue to learn, lead, and elevate our profession.

With warm regards,
CA Harshit Desai
Chairman
ICAI Anand Branch (WIRC)
