Message from Chairman, EICASA

Dear Students, Members, Dignitaries, and Esteemed Guests,

As we conclude ARC 2026 – Aspire, Rise, Captivate, our hearts are filled with immense pride and gratitude. Over the past two days, the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre witnessed an extraordinary gathering of more than 4,000 CA students and professionals united by a common aspiration—to learn, grow, and shape the future of the profession.

The inspiring words of our distinguished guests, thought-provoking technical sessions, insightful discussions on AI, finance, technology, leadership, and entrepreneurship, along with the enthusiasm and participation of every delegate, transformed ARC 2026 into a truly memorable experience. The conference was not merely an event; it was a celebration of ambition, resilience, innovation, and the limitless potential of the student fraternity. A special highlight of the conference was the observance of International Yoga Day on 21st June, where students enthusiastically participated in a rejuvenating yoga session conducted by CA Surbhi Gandhi. The session beautifully reinforced the importance of physical and mental well-being in a demanding professional journey. We were also delighted to host the Regional Level National Talent Search competitions in Kolkata, providing a platform for talented students to showcase their creativity, confidence, and diverse abilities beyond academics.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Board of Studies (Operations), ICAI, our eminent speakers, guests, sponsors, volunteers, and every individual whose dedication and support made this conference a grand success. Most importantly, we thank each student delegate for bringing energy, curiosity, and passion to this platform.

As we move forward, let the spirit of ARC continue to inspire us to aspire beyond boundaries, rise above challenges, and captivate the world through excellence and leadership.

I am particularly delighted that Kolkata had the privilege of hosting the Regional Level National Talent Search, which provided a remarkable platform for our talented students to showcase their skills, creativity and intellect. The enthusiastic participation and exceptional performances witnessed during the event truly reflected the immense potential of the student fraternity and reinforced our commitment to nurturing well-rounded future professionals. All my best wishes to the students who made it to the Nationals

After a memorable June filled with learning, competition, and celebration, Team EICASA is all set to carry the momentum forward with an exciting lineup of programmes and activities planned for July:

We assure you that this is not the end of the journey. Team EICASA shall continue to bring many more enriching, impactful, and unforgettable experiences for the student community, creating opportunities to learn, connect, compete, and grow together. We look forward to bringing many more such eventful and transformative days for the students' fraternity in the years ahead.

With warm regards and best wishes,

CA Hari Ram Agarwal
