Dear Esteemed Members,

I feel immense honor and express my deepest gratitude to all of you or bestowing upon me the highest position as the President of the All Gujarat Federation of Tax Consultants for the Year 2025 - 2026. I am truly humbled by the trust you have placed in me, and I assure you of my utmost dedication to expand the horizon of objectives of our esteemed Federation.

As we move forward together, my vision is guided by three key pillars: Knowledge Enhancement, Inclusive Outreach, and Membership Growth - all aimed at empowering our members and reinforcing the AGFTC’s role as a leading professional body in the field of taxation and allied laws.

Empowering Through Knowledge - Knowledge Enhancement
In today’s rapidly changing tax and regulatory environment, staying updated is not just beneficial but essential. I am committed in organizing a series of knowledge-upgradation initiatives, including seminars, workshops, webinars, and expert sessions.

Inclusive Outreach – Mofussil Educational Programs
One of the core objectives of my tenure will be to strengthen our presence through structured plan of Mofussil Educational Programs. We will bring learning and interaction opportunities directly to our members across smaller towns and regions of Gujarat. These initiatives will bridge the gap and ensure equitable access to professional development across the state.

Tax Gurjari – AGFTC Journal
In our continued pursuit of knowledge sharing, I assure that we will be continuing the tradition of publishing Tax Gurjari–AGFTC Journal, a platform dedicated to publishing insightful, practical, and thought-provoking articles by our own members. It will not only reflect the collective wisdom of our community but also serve as a valuable resource for tax professionals across the state. I warmly invite all members to contribute articles in this journal. Let this be a stage where your experience and insights find voice and recognition. To contribute your article you can email us at advocateashutoshthakkar@gmail.com

Expanding Our Family –Membership Growth
The strength of any organization lies in its members. I envision a wider, more vibrant network of tax professionals under the AGFTC banner. Our team will work diligently to enhance membership by including young tax professionals and showcasing the tangible benefits of being part of this Federation—be it knowledge, networking, or representation.
Together, let us build an ecosystem that supports continuous learning, fosters camaraderie, and upholds the highest standards of our noble profession. I seek your active participation, valuable feedback, and continued support in this journey. Let us make this term not just memorable, but truly transformative for AGFTC.

With warm regards,
Adv. Ashutosh R Thakkar
President
All Gujarat Federation of Tax Consultants
