Dear Friends,

It brings me immense pleasure and a sense of pride to address you all today as the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Chapter. I am truly grateful for the trust and confidence you have placed in me to lead the Chapter.

As we embark on this journey together, I want to set an agenda for this year that reflects our collective aspirations "Connect to Grow".

Your agenda is my agenda, and your empowerment is my priority.

Each of us came to UAE with ambitions for professional success and personal growth. Everyone came with the dream of growing rich. I don’t mean .. Rich not only in financial terms but also in terms of knowledge, ethics, culture, and technical expertise.

The rapid growth of the UAE economy presents abundant opportunities for professionals like us to contribute to various areas such as accounting reforms, tax reforms, ESG, IPOs, artificial intelligence & governance and so on. I believe all of us should capitalize on these opportunities to ensure our individual and collective success.

In Abu Dhabi, we are the largest professional financial body, comprising over 1300 members, many of whom hold influential positions and possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. Are we leveraging this strength to benefit our fraternity? THINK ABOUT IT… Within our community, there are job seekers aspiring for career advancement, job providers, potential suppliers, and customers. Let’s help each other for the benefit of everyone…

My team & I will be reaching out to you to learn from your supremacy and leverage from your expertise for the benefit of all members of our fraternity. By fostering cohesion and collaboration among us, we can ensure that the entire community reaps the rewards of our collective efforts.

Having said , all these things will only be possible with your support and the involvement from each one of you.

Friends, this is your moment, and this year belongs to you.

We will put our 100% and I on behalf of our committee urge you to contribute whatever you can within your capacity to the Chapter.

Together, let us seize the opportunities that exist for us, connect with one another, and work towards our shared goals. With our unity and determination, I am confident that we can achieve great success and prosperity for all.

Together we can take the chapter to even greater heights.

On this occasion I would like to thank CA John George, Immediate Past Chairman for your unwavering commitment, tireless dedication, and exceptional leadership that have taken the Chapter to unprecedented heights.

John, Your contributions will be remembered and cherished as we strive to uphold the standards of excellence you have instilled in us.

We wish you continued success and fulfillment in all your future endeavors.

Let's build a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you!!! Long live the UAE, Jai Hind..
