Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Ankit Gupta: The idea of starting up with my own practice as a CA was long awaited decision. Since the time of pursuing my CA, I was keen to become an independent tax practitioner but was also clear to firstly gain hands on experience with the renowned professionals before trying for my own. I am fortunate enough to have worked with Vishwanath Singh & Associates (Chartered Accountants), Luthra & Luthra (Chartered Accountants), Vaish Associates Advocates. While my stint with these consultancy firms I got very good understanding of various laws and with this I also learned to handle the issues meticulously.
