“The World Bank reports that 80 percent of the developed world’s wealth resides in human capital, illustrating that we’ve been in a knowledge economy since the 1950s. Yet most accounting firms are utilizing a business model developed during the Industrial Era, with a relentless focus on efficiency and a “we sell time” mentality. Hitendra Patil sets out to challenge this sclerotic thinking in Accountaneur: The Entrepreneurial Accountant. General Eric Shinseki was fond of saying, “If you don’t like change, you are going to like irrelevance even less.” Following the brisk advice in this book—from changing your business model to a focus on developing your firm’s human capital, and more—will keep your firm relevant as we encounter an increasingly turbulent and changing marketplace.”

When I joined CDSL as its first Managing Director in October/November 1998, the organization was still in the pangs of birth without the Regulator's approval and without the IT and other setups in total readiness to be operational and meeting the strictest standards specified by the Depositories Act.
To add to these issues, negotiations with the existing NSDL for a reliable online system of inter Depository transfers proved dilatory. In these circumstances which were challenging, I relied on a few of the officers who were already on board at the CDSL. I was surprised with their level of understanding of the issues confronting us and their deep commitment to succeed in establishing CDSL.
Mr. Hitendra Patil was one such officer whose knowledge, commitment, and capability to bring up original solutions were of immense help. He willingly cooperated with others in the team and was frank in his opinions in team meetings, which saw the emergence of optimum solutions.
I have no hesitation in stating that he was one of the builders of CDSL which today is a strong organization. I wish him all the best in whatever he enjoys doing, one of which is institutional building.
