ICAI honours, Neeraj Ghei with 'CA Women Lifetime Achievement Award 2025'

ICAI honors Neeraj Ghei for her leadership & philanthropy. She shares insights on integrity in the evolving CA profession.

"Skills can be acquired, knowledge can be updated, but integrity, if compromised, is difficult to reclaim. - Neeraj Ghei"

Gautam Buddha Nagar, February 11

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has conferred the CA Women Lifetime Achievement Award 2025 on Neeraj Ghei at the World Forum of Accountants 2026 held at Greater Noida. The award was presented by Minister of Law, Arjun Ram Meghwal.

This accolade recognizes Ghei's contributions as a business leader, industry pioneer, and philanthropist.

The CA Women Excellence Awards were instituted in 2023 to applaud women leaders who have created a lasting impact within their organizations, the accounting profession, and society at large.

Receiving the award, Neeraj Ghei said, "I receive this recognition with humility and gratitude. Being a CA has been more than a profession to me--it has been a lifelong journey of learning, responsibility, discipline, attention to detail, and purpose. To be acknowledged by my peers and the profession I hold in the highest regard is truly meaningful. Over the years, the profession has evolved dramatically--laws keep changing, technology is transforming our work, and expectations have grown. Yet the core values of our profession remain constant: integrity, independence, and service to society. To the younger members of our profession, I would say: Skills can be acquired, knowledge can be updated, but integrity, if compromised, is difficult to reclaim. Our profession commands respect because society trusts us; please guard that trust fiercely."

Neeraj Ghei's professional journey began after qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1985. She has worked with SITA World Travel and continues to be a Director at TRAC Representations (India) Private Limited.

She has also played a pivotal role as a Promoter Director in conceptualizing and launching Select CITYWALK, a shopping and leisure destination in Delhi.

According to a statement from Trac Representations, Ghei's initiatives range from providing state-of-the-art medical equipment to hospitals to sponsoring education and the Golfing Girl Child Programme, which empowers underprivileged young women through sports, skill development, education, and environmental sustainability.

Congratulations to Ms. Ghei! This is well-deserved. As a fellow CA, her words resonate deeply. The profession has changed so much with GST, digital audits, and AI, but her point is correct – integrity is the one constant that cannot be automated or compromised. Proud moment for the CA fraternity.

The Golfing Girl Child Programme mentioned here is such a unique and wonderful initiative. Combining sports, skill development, and environmental sustainability for underprivileged girls is a holistic approach to empowerment. More power to leaders who use their success to create such impactful philanthropy.

A fantastic role model. However, I do hope awards like these also start reaching and recognizing the countless women CAs running small and medium practices in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. They are the backbone of the profession, ensuring compliance for lakhs of small businesses across India. Their lifetime of work is equally monumental.

Her story is a testament to how a CA qualification can be a springboard into diverse fields – from travel to real estate to philanthropy. It breaks the stereotype that CAs only do taxes and audit. More young students should hear such stories. Congratulations madam! 👏

"Skills can be acquired, knowledge can be updated, but integrity, if compromised, is difficult to reclaim." This line from her speech should be framed in every accounting firm and business school. In today's world, that's the most valuable business lesson anyone can learn.
