From Nohar to Global Finance | Kirti Chandak | Industry Speaks EP 01

Описание: Today in our segment “Industry Speaks @ EduMont”, we bring you the inspiring journey of Kirti Chandak — a story that goes far beyond milestones and titles.

From Nohar, Rajasthan to building a global finance career, Kirti’s path reflects discipline, clarity, and intentional growth. In a town where commerce was often seen as the easier route, she chose to challenge that narrative—prioritizing depth over shortcuts and consistency over convenience.

Her journey:
Nohar → CA → Ernst & Young → US CPA (cleared in one attempt)

But what truly stands out is what happened behind the scenes.

While working across statutory audit, IND-AS implementation, and project finance, she didn’t just build technical expertise—she built credibility. Balancing a demanding role at EY while pursuing the US CPA, she demonstrated what strategic focus and strong self-study can achieve.
