In a world where retirement often signals the end of professional ambition, a 71-year-old man from Jaipur is proving that age is truly just a number. Tara Chand Agarwal, a former employee of the erstwhile State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur (SBBJ), has become a Chartered Accountant at an age when most would shy away from exams altogether. His journey to earning the prestigious CA title didn’t begin in a classroom or boardroom—it began at home while helping his granddaughter prepare for hers.
CA Nikhilesh Kataria took to LinkedIn to share the inspiring story, revealing that Agarwal became interested in accountancy while assisting his granddaughter with her own CA studies. What started as a gesture of support turned into a full-fledged academic pursuit. And now, after years of perseverance, he has cleared one of India’s toughest professional exams. Kataria lauded his determination, reminding readers that “where there is a will, there is a way.”
The internet was quick to celebrate the milestone. Users flooded the post with congratulatory messages, calling it one of the most inspiring stories of the year. Many admired his relentless spirit, applauding the power of lifelong learning. Comments poured in praising his resilience, willpower, and passion to learn even in his 70s, proving that education has no expiry date.
