The rise of Vishesh Chandiok, CEO, Grant Thornton India
It takes a tad more than a global outlook to transform an old-world chartered accountancy practice and integrate it with an international audit powerhouse.
A man of few words, Vishesh Chandiok has been able to do that and more, including spearheading Grant Thornton’s global tagline—‘An instinct for growth’.
EDUCATION
1992: Modern School, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi I was a very serious student and was a favourite of my math teacher, DN Kumar.
I bunked only one class in school, and that too once—library— and got caught for it. Otherwise, I had full attendance.
1992-1995: BA (Pass), St. Stephen’s College & CA training with Walker Chandiok & Co. LLP I used to attend college in the morning and trained with Walker Chandiok later in the day. I remember spending the summer auditing some of our clients in Mumbai, where I did audit work for Ranbaxy and Jet Airways.
