I am Chandan Ohri, Founder & CEO of Duco Consultancy, a global management consulting and technology enablement organization. With a background in accounting, finance, and IT advisory, I have had the privilege of holding leadership positions at renowned companies such as IBM, KPMG, and Bank of India. These experiences played a crucial role in helping me shape Duco Consultancy into what it is today.
Reflecting on my journey, I feel both proud and humbled by the path that led me to establish Duco Consultancy. My career began with a deep-rooted passion for finance and governance, shaped by the education and values I received at Father Agnel School. The foundation I built at Agnel, from the early years to my graduation in 1992, played a pivotal role in shaping my career and instilling in me a commitment to ethical leadership.
At Agnel, I was taught not only academic lessons but also the importance of integrity, discipline, and community—values that became the cornerstone of my professional journey. After completing my education, I pursued Chartered Accountancy and became a CPA. This opened doors to numerous opportunities, including roles with prestigious organizations like The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, CPA Australia, and ISACA Auckland Chapter. These experiences allowed me to contribute to governance practices and gain invaluable insights into global finance.
Further studies at institutions like INSEAD and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand broadened my perspective and equipped me to navigate the complexities of the financial world. These lessons and experiences ultimately led to the founding of Duco Consultancy. Today, with a dedicated team, Duco helps organizations build strong governance frameworks and adapt to the ever-evolving financial landscape.
Looking back, founding Duco Consultancy has been a rewarding journey of innovation, resilience, and purpose. It is my way of giving back to the field and making a lasting impact on the organizations we serve. The values, mentorship, and experiences that I gained at Father Agnel School continue to guide me, and I remain grateful for the solid foundation it provided—one that continues to shape my personal and professional growth.
