We entered into hospitality sector with our first 65 key property in the city- Dehradun in 2014, which was also the first internationally branded Hotel of the city. As owners, based away from the property location, we were looking for a trusted and efficient Assurance and Consultancy firm to guide and assist our finance team with the operations/business processes. We were then introduced to Mr. Verendra Kalra [Mg. Partner of Verendra Kalra & Co., Chartered Accountants]. In the very first meeting with him and his team, understanding the way VKC functions, we were totally convinced that we had made the right choice. Since then we have taken varied professional services ranging from assurance to consultancy, taxation to financing. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable about our business and industry, VKC client services are exceptional. They are responsive, deliver their work on time and are always helpful throughout the year and not just during audit time. Overall, they are a delight to work with and we couldn’t be more happier with their services.

It has been a long and enduring journey which our group of educational institutions have shared with VKC. From being engaged in providing advisory from the very first day for setting up of our educational as well as other business entities, to providing multiple services over the years in areas such as assurance, compliances services to successfully representing us before multiple tax forums, our association with the firm has been continuously evolving. We place immense trust on the advisory provided to us by the senior management of the firm and all our business ventures are initiated after receiving their sound consultancy services. We are happy to share that with sound support, that with all this support from them, since its inception, the educational ventures of the group have grown significantly. We wish the very best to the VKC family for its successful journey so far and all the success in future.

Our relationship with VKC  is now more than 7 years long and our trust in the professional services delivered by the firm has only grown multifold over the years. We started in 2013 with an initial contract to outsource the tax review practice to VKC, with an intention to leverage from the vast experience of the latter in taxation related matters. Post that, there has been a continuous growth of our work relationship and trust on the firm, owing to technically sound and satisfactory deliverables provided by them. Over the years, we have reached out to VKC for various opinions covering a number of different aspects of the business environment. Critical tax consultancy work assignments are carried out by VKC for us and they have provided top notch and round the clock services to the Academy.

We have availed varied services from VKC including  internal audit services for over a decade and now the firm continues to handle tax and many other compliance and advisory for us. The tax advisory services received by us from VKC includes a wide ensemble of services like tax opinions sought from the firm on varied matters, income tax representation before the number of tax authorities, advisory in relation to foreign taxation issues etc. Time bound and deeply researched deliverables are common parameters for judging each assignment undertaken by the firm. The professionalism and systematic approach with which the firm handles the work is of the highest standards and is second to none in the country. We wish the very best to the firm and congratulate them for their remarkable success so far.

Our professional relationship with VKC commenced over 6 years back when we engaged them for inventorisation of  fixed assets of our Retreat at Dehradun. This engagement  was aimed at  identification and tagging of thousands of fixed assets, creation of a comprehensive fixed assets register and establishing the SOP for the fixed assets department. Successful and efficient closure of the assignment by their team set the right overtone for a much wider professional relationship between us, which since then has arrayed to multiple professional engagements carried out by them over the years. Our Group of companies have received assurance, compliance support services in addition to the adequately researched opinions and reporting on internal control issues. The diligent efforts and high level of expertise put in by their  multi-specialty teams are visibly reflected in the satisfactory outcomes delivered by them. We wish the firm lots of success and look forward to a long lasting relationship with our group.

It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Verendra Kalra and his team at VKC for over 5 years long professional relationship. I was personally very impressed with the level of professionalism and  internal processes designed by them to keep track of all relevant information and timelines, and also ensuring  complete  confidentiality of clients data. The team at VKC have the perfect balance of technical knowledge and practical approach which is prominently evident in the outcomes delivered for us by them. Over the years, VKC team has  assisted us with system implementation, establishing internal controls in our factories and entities and providing support to our group companies in the various matters related with accounting, direct and indirect taxation, company law, FEMA issues and other laws. They have also helped us with tax litigations to get substantial reliefs. We have been extremely pleased with quality services received and wish VKC Team all the best for all their future endeavors.
