Who I Am

AI & Automation Technology Lead
with a CA's rigor.

I'm a tech-driven Chartered Accountant and Partner at BLA & Co. with a software-engineering mindset and advanced AICA Level-2 certification in AI & automation. I build AI-powered workflows and automation frameworks that transform traditional compliance into seamless, reliable systems - for both the profession and businesses.

This sits on deep, hands-on experience across GST, indirect-tax litigation, Income Tax, TDS and statutory audits - delivering precise, technology-enabled outcomes across the full lifecycle of companies and LLPs under MCA, from incorporation to closure.
