The Practitioner

Counsel that reads the numbers and the law.

Vinayak Agarwal is a Chartered Accountant and CFA Charterholder who leads Agarwal Taxcon Pvt. Ltd. — a New Delhi practice with a legacy of over twenty-five years advising businesses and individuals.

The practice spans direct tax and litigation, GST and indirect tax, statutory and internal audit for unlisted entities, cross-border and NRI tax advisory, and accounting automation. Every engagement is handled with the rigour of an auditor and the perspective of someone who follows the capital markets closely.

Vinayak cleared both the CA and the CFA programme in close succession, and holds a BBA in Financial Investment Analysis from Delhi University. That blend — statutory discipline alongside an investor's read of risk — shapes how the practice approaches every problem, from a routine filing to a contested assessment.

Clients are served across India and abroad, with most engagements beginning as a brief, unhurried conversation.
