A reflection on our entrepreneurial journey as we are about to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Nishe
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
-Søren Kierkegaard
Four years.
That’s how long it has passed since I took the momentous decision to resign my position as an Assurance Director at PwC Dubai and set up an accounting practice with a focus on employing women.
Nishe, which was just an idea that blossomed in my mind in 2015 and began taking concrete shape in 2016, has now led to:
- 5 fantastic team members;
- 40 plus clients – present and past;
- A beautiful office in the heart of Dubai (that too, owned);
- Several media coverages and an award;
- My position as a Member of ACCA members advisory committee in the UAE and of ACCA global tax forum;
- Lots and lots of new friends and connections and closer relationships with many many old friends and connections; and
- And equally or more importantly for me, self-discovery – I am finally, finally, comfortable in my own skin.
It has also been an era of:
- extreme panics, excitements and disappointments;
- Continuous decision-making and problem-solving;
- Working and living under severe financial constraints;
- Stepping down several levels in work related responsibilities before stepping back up eventually; and
- Plenty of exploring, discovering and learning.
Quiet reflection is a routine part of my life. But four years on, I wanted to reflect a bit louder. I am proud of what the idea of Nishe has come to, I am excited about its future and I am excited to share our journey.
Hence this Sunday series, which commences today. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Demystifying UAE Corporate Tax
The Ministry of Finance (MoF), UAE recently issued Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses.
Are you wondering what it means for you practically?
Click on the link to watch the webinar where we attempt to demystify some of the most essential provisions of the UAE Corporate Tax Law.
Love the second last para “Quiet reflection is a routine part of my life. But for years on, I wanted to reflect a bit louder”. It resonates with those a lot of introverts who come out of their shell as camouflaged-extroverts; and that’s just beautiful.
Thank you 🙂
