Under Pressure: Question the Objective

CA Sanjivv Shiv Kapoor is more than a Chartered Accountant — he is a
storyteller of numbers, journeys, and human resilience. With over three
decades of professional experience, he has mastered the art of financial
precision while nurturing a parallel passion for words and images. His life
moves fluidly between balance sheets, reflective essays, and frames of
light captured through his camera.
His first book, “Memoirs of a CA – Aap Toh CA Hain”, is a heartfelt debut that traces the trials,
triumphs, and timeless lessons of a Chartered Accountant’s life. Written with humour, honesty,
and an unmistakable personal voice, the book takes readers inside the grind of long study hours,
the unpredictable days of articleship, the nail-biting tension of exam results, and the quiet pride
of finally earning the letters “CA.” More than just professional anecdotes, it is a celebration of
persistence, patience, and the human spirit behind the profession.
Beyond his debut, Sanjivv is a prolific writer who contributes regularly to magazines,
anthologies, guest articles, blogs, and online platforms. His writing travels across genres —
from professional reflections and personal memoirs to explorations of spirituality, numerology,
and philosophy. Each piece carries his signature style: thoughtful, grounded, and deeply
relatable.
An avid reader and lifelong learner, Sanjivv has built a personal library that reflects his
curiosity and passion for knowledge. His vast collection spans finance, literature, philosophy,
and art — a testament to the breadth of his interests and the depth of his commitment to growth.
He often describes books as “silent mentors,” guiding both his professional choices and his
creative pursuits.
As a photographer, he transforms ordinary details into extraordinary images, believing that
every frame and every number has a story waiting to be told. Through his words, his camera,
and his profession, Sanjivv Shiv Kapoor embodies a rare balance: the discipline of numbers
with the creativity of art, the rigor of practice with the joy of expression. His journey — and
his work — remind us that being a CA is not just about audits and accounts, but about life,
patience, and the stories we carry within us.
