And Piyush Goyal just handed out the VIP pass in Singapore. At the ICAI International Conference 2026, he didn’t just talk growth; he talked *accountants as global players*. Yes, you read that right. As India integrates deeper into the world economy, the role of CAs isn’t shrinking; it’s expanding. Global deals. Cross-border compliance. Data-driven investments. That’s where the real opportunities are now. But here’s what most missed: Goyal didn’t just speak to professionals. He spoke to *family-owned empires* in Singapore; the quiet wealth that moves global capital. He pitched India not as a market, but as a *partner in growth*. And he wasn’t alone. Alongside Sitharaman, Jaishankar, and Vaishnaw, the delegation brought 70 top business leaders; from AI to logistics; to show Singapore India isn’t just growing. It’s *ready*. The real story? This isn’t just another ministerial visit. It’s a signal. A signal that India’s economic engine is now loud enough to be heard beyond borders; and the world is starting to sit up.
