OUR LEGACY · EST. 1938

Four Generations, One Family

From Kolkata, 1938 - to Tenali, today.

A story that began not with a business plan, but with a Government Diploma in Accountancy (GDA) earned in Kolkata in 1938 - carried forward through four generations of one family in Chartered Accountancy.

This is a story that began not with a business plan, but with a Government Diploma in Accountancy (GDA) earned in Kolkata in 1938.

It has continued, quietly, through four generations of one family choosing the same profession - Chartered Accountancy - in four different eras of India. Yeswanth K P & Co, led by Ch. Yeswanth Kali Prasad, carries the practice forward under a new name, continuing the work begun as Ch. V. Lakshmiah & Co. in 1938.
