Dear Esteemed Members,

It is a matter of great honor and privilege for me to assume the responsibility of Chairman of the Jodhpur Branch for the term 2026-27. I express my sincere gratitude to the managing committee and members for reposing their trust and confidence in me.

The year 2026-27 holds special significance for our branch as we celebrate the Golden Jubilee – the 50th year of establishment of the Jodhpur Branch. Over the past five decades, the branch has grown remarkably and has established itself as one of the leading branches in the region. This milestone is a reflection of the vision, dedication, and continuous efforts of our past leaders, senior members, and the entire fraternity who have contributed to the growth and prestige of the profession.

As we commemorate this historic occasion, it is an opportunity to reflect on our rich legacy while also looking ahead with renewed commitment. During this Golden Jubilee year, the branch aims to organize various professional, academic, and social initiatives to celebrate this important milestone and to further strengthen engagement among members.

I am fortunate to be supported by a dynamic and dedicated team for the year 2026-27. The Managing Committee comprises CA Pankaj Rathi (Vice Chairman), CA Rahul Kalani (Secretary), CA Vikas Bhootra (Treasurer), and CA Manish Rathi (CICASA Chairman). We are also guided by the valuable experience of CA Hemant Lohiya (Immediate Past Chairman) and CA Dhaval Kothari (Ex Officio and CIRC Treasurer). The committee is further strengthened by our Executive Members – CA Ashish Phophliya, CA Jitendra Bothra, and CA Yogesh Kumar Vyas, whose support and commitment will be instrumental in achieving our goals for the year.

Our focus will remain on enhancing professional knowledge, encouraging continuous learning, and creating platforms for meaningful interaction and development for members. With the collective support, cooperation, and active participation of all our members, I am confident that we will make this Golden Jubilee year truly memorable.

Together, let us continue to work towards strengthening our profession and bringing greater recognition to the Jodhpur Branch.

I look forward to your continued guidance, encouragement, and participation in all our initiatives.

Warm regards,

CA Mahipal Ladha
Chairman
Jodhpur Branch of ICAI
