At an awards ceremony in London Mehta said: “I’m incredibly honoured to win the One Young CA award. I hope that I can represent ICAS at the One Young World Summit and really show what the new generation of chartered accountant is about.”

ICAS CEO, Bruce Cartwright said: “This year, ICAS’ global competition recognised 100 young CAs for their extraordinary talent – those who have excelled in their field, who have pursued new and innovative career paths, and who have dedicated their time and passion to a worthy cause.”
