CA Shroff highlights new geopolitical realities
A Singapore Indian business leader has called for collaboration across borders in a disrupted world that is fast-driven by technological shifts, sustainability imperatives, new geopolitical realities, evolving demographics, and an uncompromising call for ethical governance.
Anuradha Shroff, Chairperson of the Singapore chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, stressed, “We are living through a time of profound change — driven by technological shifts, sustainability imperatives, new geopolitical realities, evolving demographics, and an uncompromising call for ethical governance.
“But transformation itself is not enough. What truly matters is our response — as professionals, as organisations, and as a global community,” Shroff told over 150 Chartered Accountants at the “Business Leaders Forum 2.0” on Sept 25.
Shroff called for a response to the global challenges, through “Purposeful Leadership that is rooted in values, vision and responsibility.”
She also wants to see “Agility with Integrity that is adapting with speed and precision, without ever compromising ethics.”
She wants the future built through united, cross-border efforts and not in silos.
The forum, attended by delegates from Singapore, India and the region, is not just a stage for dialogue — it is a launchpad for action and impact, underlined Shroff.
“Through this platform, we aim to showcase real stories of transformation, share global best practices, strengthen leadership across sectors and borders, and empower Chartered Accountants and professionals to go beyond compliance — to become strategic advisors, innovation enablers, and ethical business leaders,” said Shroff, a veteran chartered accountant with three decades for managing corporations with global network.
The delegates were led by ICAI President CA Charanjot Singh Nanda and former Union Minister Suresh Prabhu as well as James Lye, Global Head, International banking of Standard Chartered Bank.
She also underscored the role of ICAI Singapore Chapter which has a community of over 550 Indian Chartered Accountants from across banking, consulting, technology, and entrepreneurship.
“We are committed to global standards of excellence and trust, and are dedicated to mentoring the next generation of ethical and visionary leaders,” she said at the forum hosted by the ICAI Singapore Chapter in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank, and supported by VRV Global, TRST01, Dhruva Advisors, MICS and Noble Horizon.
