Who says that CAs don't become entrepreneurs? There are many CAs who are successful entrepreneurs. Anyone can become an entrepreneur and the chances for CAs to become entrepreneurs is slightly more than others.The reason behind this is that CAs have in-depth knowledge of Accounts, Tax, Audit, Law and Compliance, Finance, and many other business-related subjects; therefore, they are naturally good at managing accounts and other business-related operations.I have curated a list of some CAs who are also successful entrepreneurs-Dhruv Shringi is a qualified CA who is now a co-founder and CEO of http://yatra.com. He passed his CA final exam in the year 1997. After becoming CA, Dhruv worked for various other companies such as Ebooker, Ford Motor Company, and Arthur Andersen & Associates. In the year 2006, he started his own company http://yatra.com in partnership with others.Nirmal Jain is a founder and chairman of the financial conglomerate, Indian Infoline (IIFL) Group. He started his career in the year 1989 by working with Hindustan Unilever. In 1995, he started an equity research company which, with hard work of two decades, is now one of the top companies in the finance sector.Radhe Shyam Agarwal, a co-founder of Emami, was listed as one of the top 100 richest Indians in 2015. He is also a CA who started his career in 1970 by joining Aditya Birla Group. In 1974, he started his company, Emami, along with one of his school friends.Rajesh Magow is a well-known name who co-founded http://makemytrip.com. he is also a CA who had also worked in Aptech Ltd and Ebookers. In 2006, he became the entrepreneur by co-founding http://makemytrip.com. since then, this brand has grown all over the world, quite literally!These are only some of the names, the list of CAs who became successful entrepreneurs goes on and on.I hope this encourages any fresh CAs aspirants and CAs to pursue their goals without any fear. Always remember being a CA, your business aptitude is always higher than any ordinary man.

I too had this question during the time of taking my final call as to where I would do my MBA from so I can take a leaf from that along with my 2 years experience of the B-School in question along with certain other set of information which are either not available if you are not part of the B-School circuit or because it is wrongly captured and quoted by newspapers etc. To keep any personal biases aside I will try to mention majorly the facts and keep my opinions aside.The proof of the pudding is in eating, so below are some of the companies that visit SPJIMR (which is very easy to obtain from public domain) against the roles (which is not so easy to obtain) offered by them to PGDM-Finance participants. As SP is one campus which is having plethora of changes (even its logo didn’t escape that!) it will only be justified if the current years of placements (Class of 2016/2017) are used for this purpose.SPJIMR Placement Report: SPJIMR Says Placements Process for PGDM Class of 2017 Ends on a new HighET News report : SPJIMR placements for Class of 2017 ends with top salary of Rs 39.5L, average salary of Rs 20.9L - The Economic Times1.

Avendus Capital Front End Investment BankingEDIT-1: 43. McKinsey & Co (Pool campus along with FMS/XLRI etc.)This list roughly answers the opportunity available to PGDM Finance Management Participants at SPJIMR.For the next part of the answer the reader will need to compare these roles and companies offering them to the other mentioned institutes. Just comparing the name of companies across various campuses isn’t the right way to compare the career prospects especially out of a premier B-School.EDIT-2: The 5 International placements were offered by Deloitte South East Asia (SEA) and the role on offer was Front End Strategy & Operation/Technology Consulting. The selected students would be based out of Malaysia/Singapore. Usually other than few institutes the overseas placements are based out of Nigeria etc. so base location of such offers should also be considered while comparing.Many times a factually correct information leads to a wrong conclusion. The highest package on offer was based out of a country participants were not comfortable with (This is common in SPJIMR). This was quoted by one campus as its highest CTC on offer (INR 55 Lakh)Certain big brands and bulge bracket banks offer roles which not found attractive by participants in addition to being low paying. This year (2017) a leading credit rating agency and few MNC banks found themselves in this segment. Owing to a reasonably low batch strength at SPJIMR such companies are not required to participate in campus placement, a luxury that other premier B-School may not have. Having big names in the placement report without the actual role offered and compensation could be be misleading.EDIT-3: TAS, Accenture Strategy etc. companies which are highly regarded by Bschool aspirants are regular recruiters at SP. But statistically it has been observed that they tend to lean on one of the other 3 specialization(TAS toward Marketing, Accenture towards Operations etc.) although they are open for application from all the specialization. Owing to this I have left them out in the above list. The idea is to give a distilled rather than inflated image of career prospects!PS: The compensation details has been deliberately left out due to the confidentiality clause between SPJIMR participants and companies participating in campus placements. However, it has been usually noticed that CTC are more than often tied to roles so similar roles would mean similar CTC across institutes.
