Utilizing his experience gained by working at the BCCI, Lokesh started coaching CA students. He believes that to attain growth in life, proper guidance by senior professionals is important.

Lokesh Kasat is a practicing Chartered Accountant in Jaipur. He also coaches CA aspirant students.

Recalling his childhood, Lokesh says that he belongs to a small town called Deshnok in Bikaner and is from a middle-class family. He shares that when he was in the twelfth grade, he lost his father and suffered from a financial crisis. So, he opted for CA, as it was the cheapest course to do and also did a job along with his studies. After completing his CA, initially, he worked at the BCCI. Later, he quit the BCCI and joined DHL in Mumbai. Afterwards, in 2009, he decided to start his own venture.

Talking about his journey, Lokesh says that he has had his own experiences in this field, as when he joined a job, he always got the guidance of seniors. After gaining experience,  he decided to train the CA students. He has been working in this field for the last fifteen years and is now running his own venture, which is an accomplishment for him.

When asked about mistakes, Lokesh says he believes that if you are not making mistakes, that means you are on the wrong path. So, he thinks that mistakes are a part of life. He made the mistake of not doing work with proper planning and thinking about future situations. He learned the importance of planning, analysis, and future prediction by considering current circumstances. In personal terms, he says that his first mistake was to quit the job at the BCCI, and that time he made the decision without thinking. He also learned that it is critical to first grasp the problem before providing a solution for it.

Sharing his achievements, Lokesh says that in the first year of his job, he got a 50% raise. In terms of public achievements, Lokesh says that one of his students achieved first place in the CA examinations in 2014, which he considers to be his greatest achievement. He also became the President of the CA Institute in Rajasthan. Recently, he became a member of the Centre Council in Delhi and a youth member of the Young Tax Association Committee of Rajasthan.

Lokesh’s role model is his uncle, who always provides him with solutions to problems and motivates him to do hard work. He also admires Sachin Tendulkar and Swami Vivekanand.

Lokesh’s life mantra is that there is no shortcut to success; the only way is to do hard work.

Advising the young generation, Lokesh says that along with communication and technology, a degree course is equally important in any field. The global value of CA courses is increasing day by day, so it is required to update yourself according to changing technology. Apart from this, the most important thing in the field of CA is to do hard work with full dedication.
