What does it take to transform a three-bedroom apartment into one of the most respected accounting firms in the GCC?
In this special episode of Inside a CA Firm, we sit down with CA Venkatesh Santhanam, Founding Partner of MCA UAE, as he shares the real story—raw, rooted, and refreshingly ambitious. From his early days in Chennai to building a five-country presence, this isn’t just a story of a firm; it’s a story of vision, grit, and quiet transformation.
Highlights:
- Why he left Nestlé to follow his entrepreneurial calling.
- How MCA UAE began in a rented apartment on Sheikh Zayed Road.
- The bold three-year strategy that scaled them across the GCC.
- The butterfly mindset that changed everything.
- Building verticals and a global network from scratch.
