Dear Esteemed Members,

Namaste and warm greetings!

As we step into July, I WISH all the Fellow Professionals and CA Students, a Happiest 77^th Chartered Accountants Day. July 1st is not just a date – it is a celebration of the legacy, responsibility, and excellence that every Chartered Accountant carries. This day commemorates the founding of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in 1949, and marks the journey of an institution that has become synonymous with trust, financial discipline, and national service.

It brings me immense pride and joy to reflect on a vibrant and purposeful June 2025, filled with meaningful engagements, professional enrichment, and community celebrations. June is a month that not only brings in seasonal transitions but also a wave of renewed energy through various initiatives at the Branch. This month witnessed the observance of several important days, MSME Day, International Yoga Day.

It gives me immense pleasure to congratulate SICASA Bengaluru, ably led by SICASA Chairman CA. Nischal R B, for creating a remarkable record and making the entire CA fraternity proud! In the CA Students National Conference on 6^th and 7^th June 2025.

In a historic event, 2,203 CA Students came together to sing the ICAI Motto Song simultaneously at a single venue, setting an exceptional example of unity, pride, and professional spirit. This extraordinary effort has been recognized by the India Book of Records and has also earned a prestigious Global World Record for the “Maximum Number of CA Students Singing the ICAI Motto Song Simultaneously at a Single Venue.”

Such initiatives not only foster a deep sense of belonging among Students but also showcase the vibrancy, talent, and discipline of the next generation of Chartered Accountants.

Kudos to the entire Bengaluru SICASA team, volunteers, and Student participants who made this feat possible!! You have created history and inspired thousands across the Country. This is a moment that will be remembered and cherished for years to come!

Focus on Continuous Learning…..
