Success Story of Umang Agarwal:
After clearing Class X exams, Umang decided to enter into engineering field along with his friends. However, he was inspired by his father’s personal CA firm and decided to crack the same. At that time, Umang’s father, Mr. Vijay warned him to take up CA seriously, as it is regarded as one of the toughest fields of study. Umang had accepted the challenged and moved ahead.
Advising the next generation CA aspirants, Umang Agarwal mentioned that one has to dedicate his/ her full-time for this course. The choice to become CA has to be taken at a very early age in the life and one needs to prepare accordingly. On the other hand, the aspirants should never consider their exam as an attempt. Instead, they will have to prepare for the exam with confidence and attempt consciously. CA is a monotonous course and the aspirants must try and sacrifice other things to crack the exams, he added.

Being the youngest chairman of ICAI’s Nagpur branch, Umang Agarwal would focus more on younger CAs. A younger CA should possess some major qualities and skills such as good manners, marketing skills, etiquette and power point presentation skills. A CA must also be a tech-savvy according to Umang Agarwal. Experts will participate in short camps every month to train the CAs in the aspects mentioned above, he detailed.
