I'm Aashish Agarwal — CA, business builder, and someone who has spent a lifetime finding patterns in places most people don't think to look. Professionally, I work in international taxation. The rest is harder to describe — and better experienced in conversation.
My family has been in Chartered Accountancy since 1994. I grew up in a world where numbers were not just figures — they were stories, patterns, and sometimes, revelations. That instinct has shaped everything I do, professionally and personally.
Today, my professional work sits at the centre of international taxation and cross-border business advisory. My clients are running businesses across two or more countries — India and the US, India and the UAE, India and Europe. They don't come to me for routine filing. They come because they want someone who thinks about their entire structure, who takes ownership of outcomes, and who can be trusted when the situation is genuinely complex. I work as a business partner with ownership — not as a compliance vendor with a timesheet. My CA firm is at AeTx.com.
Outside of professional work, I live with a level of curiosity that doesn't respect boundaries. I've gone deep into subjects that most people skim. I build businesses. I travel. I find that the most interesting things in life — and in business — are almost always about patterns you can learn to read.
The conversations I enjoy most are the ones that start somewhere expected and end somewhere neither of us anticipated. If that sounds like the kind of conversation you want to have, my WhatsApp is the right place to begin.
"There is a kind of knowledge that doesn't fit neatly on a CV. It comes from years of paying close attention — to businesses, to people, to systems, and to things most professionals are too busy to notice. That's the knowledge I bring to every conversation." — Aashish Agarwal
Depth is not common. Most professionals become specialists by narrowing. I've done the opposite — I've gone deep in multiple directions and found that they connect in ways that aren't obvious at first. That cross-domain thinking changes the quality of advice I give.
I use AI across everything I do — not as an experiment but as a genuine operating tool. It changes the amount and quality of work one person can deliver. My clients see this in the speed, consistency, and comprehensiveness of how I work.
The CA background is the foundation, not the ceiling. Thirty years of family practice means I understand the mechanics of business at a molecular level — structures, cashflows, obligations, risk. That foundation makes everything else I do sharper. When I give an opinion on something that isn't strictly "CA work," it's grounded in a rigour most generalists don't have.
These aren't listed as credentials. They're listed as evidence that when you message me, the conversation can go a long way.
"My clients stopped calling me their CA a long time ago. They just call me when something important is happening — and expect me to have an opinion. That's the relationship I'm interested in building."
Not about delegation — about designing systems that don't need it. What AI actually changed about the way I work, and what it didn't.
Not tax planning. Not compliance. Structure — how your entities relate to each other, and why it determines your options in every future decision.
LLC vs C-Corp is the question everyone asks. The real question is whether your India structure supports a US entity at all.
No contact forms. No email funnels. No CRM. Every lead and client conversation on WhatsApp. It converts better than anything else I've tried.
Missed DTAA claims, wrong residential status filings, unnecessary TDS. These are not rare edge cases. They are the most common patterns in NRI taxation.
International tax, India entry, overseas incorporation, transfer pricing, DTAA. Describe your situation in plain language.
