About

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. My practice spans the full litigation cycle: AO proceedings, CIT(A) appeals, ITAT hearings, and tax audits across corporates and individuals. At EY, I work on complex business tax advisory mandates. Before that, at RSM India, I led audit and compliance engagements across Oil & Gas, IT/ITeS, and Services sectors. What sets me apart: I hold an LLB alongside my CA — which means I approach tax not just as a compliance exercise but as a legal strategy problem. I'm also actively building fluency in AI tools and their application to tax and financial workflows. Core areas: — Direct tax litigation (AO → CIT(A) → ITAT) — Tax audits & assessments — Business tax advisory (Big 4) — Financial reporting & audit (RSM methodology) — Tools: CaseWare · DigiCorp · Computax · Webtel Open to conversations on complex litigation mandates, advisory roles, or legal-tech in the tax space.
