Dear Esteemed Members,

Warm greetings to all of you.

May 2026 will forever be remembered as one of the most transformative months in the history of Anand Branch - a month where knowledge met conviction, where professionalism met passion, and where our fraternity truly shone.

The crown jewel of May was the legendary Gyanvivechan - Analytical Discourse on Knowledge Conference, held on 21st and 22nd May 2026 at Gulmahor Hall, Madhubhan Resort & Spa, Anand. Organized by the Professional Development Committee, ICAI, and jointly hosted by Anand Branch (WIRC) and Vadodara Branch (WIRC), this two-day knowledge summit brought together over 150 CA members from across Gujarat. National luminaries - Adv. CA Dhinal Shah, CA Kartik Jindal, CA Jigar Shah, CA Shubham Patel, CA Milin Mehta, and CA Manish Dafria - delivered sessions of extraordinary depth, covering the new Income Tax Act, GST on real estate, AI in professional practice, and the future of CA firm consolidation. The event resonated across Gujarat's leading newspapers - a true testament to its scale and significance.

But that was not all. On 27th May 2026, our CA students had the rare privilege of visiting the iconic Amul Chocolate Unit at Mogar, Anand - an industrial visit jointly organized by Anand Branch of WIRC and Anand Branch of WICASA. Watching our next generation discover the engineering of India's greatest cooperative, Amul, up close - was a moment of pure joy and pride.

Dear members, what we have built this month is a declaration of what Anand Branch stands for: relentless pursuit of excellence, a commitment to lifelong learning, and the courage to lead. The future of our profession belongs to those who prepare today, and I am proud to say: we are preparing. Together, let us keep rising. Together, let us keep shining.

With warm regards,
CA Harshit Desai
Chairman
ICAI Anand Branch (WIRC)
