Among the very few professionals in our country whose unique insights on regulatory provisions and accounting principles have often become the law and practice at a later point in time, CA. Dilip B. Desai is the Chairman of DHC International & Desai Haribhakti Consulting. 

A national scholar, gold medallist, thought leader, and visionary, he has been the driving force behind the two most respected professional service organizations. His leadership journey started after a short stint with a global service company when he founded his firm with the aim of strengthening the value systems, principles, and ethics of reputed big organizations and developing the vision, drive, and spirit of a passionate entrepreneur.

His leadership and conviction resulted in extraordinary & unprecedented organic and inorganic growth and the emergence of DHC International and Desai Haribhakti Consulting, which has developed a global reputation as experts in assurance, risk, and advisory services, including forensic audit, cyber security, and cognitive technologies. He has also honed his organization’s capabilities in cost, internal and management audit, GRC and ESG services, tax and regulatory services, including international taxation, transfer pricing, and expat taxation. He has also been instrumental in creating exceptional capabilities for corporate financial services, including mergers and acquisitions, domestic and cross-border corporate restructuring, insolvency advisory services, valuation services, IPO Support Services, and Global Knowledge Services, to name a few. His international outlook has enabled him set up an exclusive DHC Global Centre of Excellence to provide the best-in-class professional services overseas, with plans afoot to develop a Skill Institution to further propel it. This new ‘Make-In-India’ initiative takes Indian professional talent to a global platform, earning him accolades from the Indian Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi. 

His impactful professional journey makes Mr. Desai acclaimed nationally and internationally. Besides being a prolific speaker, he has been associated with ICAI, leading Chambers, IIMs, management and national law schools in various capacities. An avid proponent of sustainability, Mr. Desai wants to carve the foundation of a better world, where future leaders are willing to walk the extra mile to create frameworks that benefit clients, communities, and the world at large.
