Celebrity Accountant - Mr. Praveen Kadle

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008


Yesterday I was browsing Management Accountants on Spock to know whether there any celebrity accountant in the list. I found Mr. Praveen Kadle, Managing Director of Tata Capital Ltd, a newly formed company of Tata Group.

Tata Capital, undertakes a host of financial activities like capital market services, merchant banking, housing finance, private equity, and vehicle and retail finance. That covers virtually everything in the financial domain of the Tatas - except Tata AIG Insurance, Tata Asset Management Co and Tata Investment Corporation.

Mr. Praveen Kadle, 48, as on 12-Dec-07 had following

Currently a director of Concorde Motors Limited, Sheba Properties Limited, Tata Cummins Limited, Tata Holset Limited, Tata Motors Limited, Tata Services Limited, Tata Technologies Limited and Telco Construction Equipment Co. Ltd. In the past five years, he also has been a director of, Concorde Motors (India) Limited, HV Axles Limited, HV Transmissions Limited, TAL Manufacturing Solutions Limited (formerly Telco Automation Limited), Tata Finance Limited, Tata Share Registry Limited and Telco Dadajee Dhackjee Limited.

Education: Bachelors of Commerce, Cost Accountant, Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary.

Best CFO of the Year 2004 awarded by IMA for excellence in Cost Optimisation.
Best CFO of the Year 2005 awarded by Business Today

I met Mr. Praveen Kadle once when the Top Management of the Tata Motors had come on the Go-Live of SAP 4.6C implementation in year 2003 at Pune. He congratulated everyone involved in the implementation and business for success of the project.

Some of my colleagues had not seen Mr. Kadle before, so I asked few of them to identify who is Mr. Kadle. Most of them pointed to the tall guy on the podium. They were surprised when Mr. Kadle spoke, only to find out he is just over 5′ 2″ feet.

Height does not matter…. it is the deeds.

New Year Resolutions - Year 2008

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

White Pelican

I got a very thoughtful greeting on the New Year. I would like to share it with you:

Life is like having a cup of tea.
You sit by the side of the window, lift the cup and take a careless sip,
Only to realize, somebody forgot to put the sugar.
Too lazy to go for it you somehow struggle through the sugarless cup.
Until you discover un-dissolved sugar crystals sitting at the bottom…

The last line really stirred me. My new year resolutions would be to

  1. Stir Management Accountants to aspire like Dr D K Sarraf
  2. Stir Management Accountants to participate in discussions and share their knowledge on their blogs.
  3. Stir Management Accountants in practice to their own website.
  4. Stir Management Accountants to become IT savvy - organise their calendar, address book, google reader, stumbleupon and bookmarks on the internet.
  5. Stir Management Accountants to plan and travel around the globe for business and pleasure.

Is there anything more? Then I would like you to stir me up! You know where to post your comments .

Wish You and Your Family a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2008

ICAI doubles annual membership fee for practising CAs

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007
I have added news alerts “Accountancy News” on MA blog about the happenings in Accountancy World so that the readers of MA blog are up-to-date with happenings. I was browsing the contents of what happened earlier and was surprised to notice ICAI doubles annual membership fees for practising CA.

ICAI President Sunil Talati said, the move is in line with the rising membership of the institute which called for developing its infrastructure, requiring huge investment.

This quite true. You will notice that ICAI is in news every other day and they want to take on all the practise assignments on the earth. You may notice ICAI has been trying to tie up with the institutes abroad or shown a commitment they want to grow internationally.

I am sure that practising members would be happy to contribute by way of increased fees since it is active step towards development. This strong base will help them grow more in long run.

You may notice the hits on ICAI website … 13 million !!! and lot of contents for everyone in the profession.

Kudos ICAI…. Keep growing.
