On 22nd April, 2015, Vedarth's 20th birthday, I gave him his greatest dream- Deshpee. But being his father, I have a long professional history myself.

I was born and brought up at Dhule, Maharashtra, India. My father was a Chartered Accountant and established a very successful CA firm by the name of "P D DALAL & CO" on 1st June 1967. From my early childhood I had decided to be a Chartered Accountant like my father. I did my commerce graduation in 1986 and post graduation in commerce with Accountancy, Auditing and Costing as specials. I joined my father as a partner in P D Dalal & Co on 1st October 1989. After the sad demise of my father, I got five more Chartered Accountants as partners in P D Dalal & Co and shifted its head office at Mumbai.

Now we are the oldest and biggest CA firm in North Maharashtra known for "Professional Excellence with Honesty". I personally love to work in audit & attestation (including statutory audits, income tax & vat audits) and project finance (including preparation of Project Reports and debt syndication). I had delivered public speech on Analysis of Central Budget of Indian Government each year, in the memory of my late father, since last 15 years. It has become my identity.

I also love to read and travel.

My role in Deshpee is to be the Mentor- making sure that the company is moving in the right direction and look after the finances. Deshpee is a team effort so we all try to do our best here.
