"I hold a CA alongside a law degree in progress — which means I'm deliberately building the ability to approach tax not just as a compliance exercise but as a legal strategy problem. With 10+ years navigating India's direct tax landscape — from ground-level assessments and appeals to Big 4 advisory.
