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.

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 🙂
