• International Horizons: Our study tours to Singapore and Switzerland enriched members
with global perspectives on history, culture, and professionalism.
• Fostering Connections: Sports tournaments, such as badminton and chess, fostered
camaraderie and team spirit within our community.
• Knowledge Sharing: The launch of the monthly Tax Update newsletter further emphasized
our commitment to continuous professional learning.

Looking back, Albert Einstein’s words, “Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will
take you everywhere,” resonate deeply. It is this imagination, coupled with passion and
perseverance, that propels our Chapter to greater heights.

Leading the largest overseas Chapter of ICAI in the dynamic UAE has been a humbling and
enriching experience. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s words,
“The world belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it,” have inspired me
every step of the way.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to ICAI leadership, our past Chairmen, my fellow Managing
Committee members, and the ever-supportive families that stand behind each of us. To my
parents and my wife, your unwavering belief has been my greatest strength.

As we move forward, let us embrace the adage, “If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you
want to go far, go together.” Together, as a united community, we can continue to dream big,
work passionately, and achieve extraordinary milestones for our Chapter, our profession,
and our beloved nation.

With warm regards,

CA Rajesh Somani
