From Class 11, Kushagra was sure about his decision to pursue Commerce, influenced by his father, an accountant who dreamed of Kushagra becoming a Chartered Accountant. This dream, coupled with his father’s faith, became Kushagra’s greatest motivation to clear this examination.

His disciplined approach maximised his understanding and retention of the material. Recognizing the importance of structured learning, he recommends attending classes, whether online or offline.
What Struggles Kushagra Faced?

Looking ahead, Kushagra aims to clear the CA Final, a milestone he believes will open doors to a prestigious multinational company and a promising career. His aspirations are deeply personal; while his elder brother is fulfilling their mother’s dream of becoming a doctor, Kushagra is dedicated to realising his father’s dream of becoming a Chartered Accountant. His father, despite not having cleared it himself, still dreams of achieving this goal one day.
The next steps in Kushagra’s journey include starting his articleship and undergoing computer training, aiming for opportunities in one of the Big 4 accounting firms, known for seeking top talent.
