The 40th Regional Conference of the Western India Regional Council (WIRC) of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), themed “दिव्य Drushti – Vidya, Vision and Value,” marks a significant milestone in the journey of the CA profession and the Western Region. Rooted in the timeless principles of Vidya (Knowledge), Vision (Foresight), and Value (Integrity), “दिव्य Drushti” is more than a conference—it is a movement towards empowering professionals to embrace change, create meaningful impact, and contribute to nation-building through excellence in the profession. Bringing together more than 3,000 Chartered Accountants, along with industry leaders, policymakers, professionals and distinguished experts, the Conference will provide a vibrant platform for meaningful dialogue, insightful deliberations, exchange of ideas and diverse perspectives on the evolving landscape of the profession.

Significance of the 40th Edition & The Vision of “दिव्य Drushti”

The 40th edition holds special significance as it coincides with the celebration of 75 glorious years of WIRC, marking seven and a half decades of excellence, leadership and dedicated service to the CA profession. This milestone provides an opportunity to celebrate the rich legacy of WIRC and its regional conferences while looking ahead with renewed vision and purpose.

The conference therefore serves as a bridge between legacy and the future—drawing upon the wisdom and experience of the past while preparing the profession to respond with confidence to emerging opportunities and challenges.

“दिव्य Drushti” represents the ability to see beyond the obvious, look ahead with clarity, understand the changing landscape and envision possibilities that create lasting impact. Envisioned as a confluence of knowledge, experience and fresh perspectives, the event seeks to encourage the CA fraternity to challenge conventional thinking, embrace change and develop the foresight required to navigate an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world.

It inspires professionals to combine knowledge with wisdom, experience with innovation, and vision with action, while developing the clarity, adaptability and purpose required to lead in a rapidly evolving environment.

दिव्य Drushti – Shaping the Future with IMPACT

The vision of “दिव्य Drushti” is closely aligned with this year's overarching theme, IMPACT – Innovation, Mindset, Professional Excellence, Adaptation, Collaboration and Transformation.

This alignment reflects the need for Chartered Accountants to continuously evolve and expand their role as trusted professionals and strategic partners. Through Innovation, the profession can embrace emerging technologies and new ways of thinking; through the right Mindset, it can remain agile, resilient and future-ready; through Professional Excellence, it can uphold the highest standards of competence, ethics and trust; through Adaptation, it can respond effectively to a rapidly changing environment; through Collaboration, it can harness collective knowledge and diverse perspectives; and through Transformation, it can create meaningful and sustainable impact.

Together, “दिव्य Drushti” and IMPACT seek to equip Chartered Accountants with the knowledge, skills, mindset and vision required to shape the future of the profession and contribute meaningfully to India's evolving economic landscape.

The Journey from Legacy to Impact

The 40th Regional Conference – “दिव्य Drushti” is therefore not merely a celebration of four decades of knowledge, professional excellence and regional legacy. It is a forward-looking platform that connects legacy with aspiration, knowledge with action and vision with transformation.

Through meaningful dialogue, collective learning and forward-looking perspectives, the Conference seeks to inspire the CA fraternity to envision new possibilities, embrace emerging opportunities and develop the knowledge, skills and mindset required to become future-ready Chartered Accountants in an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven environment shaped by Artificial Intelligence and rapid transformation. By embracing change, fostering innovation and upholding the values of professional excellence and trust, this Conference seeks to create a lasting impact on the CA profession, the economy and the nation, contributing meaningfully to the larger vision of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
