City lad bags AIR 24, wants to be a teacher

Vadodara: A majority of those who aspire to become company secretaries (CS) either look forward for a career in the corporate sector or start their own consultation. But city-lad Sapan Kachhiya has different plans. Sapan wants to become a teacher.

On Monday, as The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) declared result of CS foundation program, Sapan bagged All India Rank (AIR) 24 with 77.50 %. The computer based examination for CS foundation program was held in December last year.

“Since the time I was in Class VIII, I have dreamed of becoming a teacher,” said Sapan, currently a second year student of bachelors of commerce at M S University’s Faculty of Commerce.

“I may start my own institute or join an existing institute. But teaching is my passion. I had helped my friend in social science subject when I was in class ten. Later, I helped him in accounts of class 11 and class 12,” said Sapan, who plans to clear CS by appearing in both the groups in 2022.

Sapan, whose father Rakesh Kachhiya has taken voluntary retirement after suffering from brain haemorrhage and mother Dipixa works as a sales supervisor, even pens poems.
