This CA Day, Tally Solutions brought together the CA fraternity, business leaders, and financial experts under one roof for Apex 2025: Celebrating Excellence, a platform dedicated to honouring the remarkable role of CAs in building India’s economic backbone.
At its heart, Apex was more than just an event; it was a tribute to the CA community. Recognising them not merely as compliance professionals but as trusted advisors, strategic partners, and nation builders, Apex spotlighted their contribution to business credibility, SME digitisation, and entrepreneurial growth.
Voices of Insight & Inspiration
The evening opened with reflections from Tejas Goenka, MD, Tally Solutions, who described CAs as “foundational to the trust businesses are built on”. He emphasised their evolving role in enabling structured growth and resilience for businesses, especially in the MSME sector.
Adding to the dialogue, a panel discussion on “Empowering SMEs in Digital India: The Evolving Role of CAs” explored how CAs are shaping SME success stories in a rapidly digitising economy. The panel brought together industry stalwarts including CA Aniket Talati (Past President, ICAI 2023–24), CA Ved Jain (Past President, ICAI 2008–09), CA Revathi Raghunathan (Chairperson, SIRC ICAI), and Thammiah K M (GM – Finance, Tally Solutions), moderated by CA Sanjay Dhariwal.
A highlight of the evening was the fireside chat between Tejas Goenka, MD, Tally Solutions, and Nirmal Jain, Founder of IIFL, on “Building Credible Businesses in an Age of Uncertainty”. Their conversation on ethics, leadership, and resilience resonated deeply with the audience.
