It is a matter of fact that now a days, a large number of members opt for beginning and building their professional career in industry and business. In turn, the industrial houses derive the benefit of sound and solid knowledge base of those professionals who are (required to be) ethically right and (happen to be) intellectually bright. Again, culture influences, conduct, creativity and efficiency that gets translated into effectiveness. Research reveals a close relationship between success of corporates and expertise of professionals who run those corporates. “Anything can be done better than before but the point is how many people will have that devotion, passion, conviction and commitment. Everybody does hard work, but that is to maintain your job. If you are dedicated, you might add value but if you are devoted, you will multiply value”. Shri. A.M Naik, Chairman L&T Group seems truly sounded that competence coupled with commitment can alone help achieve such accomplishment as others would love to emulate. That logic remained the basis of instituting ICAI Award, way back in the year 2007. In short, ICAI Awards recognize the exemplary achievement of members serving in industry and business for their spectacular performance. It honours those who have excelled in their respective fields and made their employers, professional peers and country as well proud. With those few words, I would invite all the members in the industry to visit awards.icai.org and involve others as well to share your accomplishments that you achieved over a period of time by filling the nomination forms, according to length of experience and other criteria to fulfill respective categories’ requirement. An overwhelming response from the members in industry can only make this path breaking endeavor truly purposeful. With Best Wishes CA. Prafulla Premsukh Chhajed |
