In a landmark achievement for India’s education and professional development sector, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has officially set a Guinness World Record for hosting the Largest Career Guidance Session for Youth. The historic event, held in Mumbai, brought together thousands of students seeking clarity, direction, and motivation for shaping their future careers.
Organised under ICAI’s national initiative to empower young minds, the mega session witnessed an unprecedented turnout of school and college students from across Maharashtra and neighbouring states. The event focused on guiding students from diverse academic streams — Commerce, Science, and Humanities — helping them understand long-term career pathways, global opportunities, and emerging fields within India’s rapidly transforming economy.
Senior ICAI leaders, career experts, and industry professionals addressed the gathering with powerful insights into the world of finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, and new-age professions. The interactive sessions covered everything from educational planning to professional skill-building, offering students practical direction to pursue sustainable and fulfilling careers.
The Guinness World Records team verified the participation count and formally acknowledged the achievement, marking it as the largest career guidance lesson ever conducted anywhere in the world.
ICAI’s record-setting event stands as a milestone not just for the institute, but for India’s youth development mission. By breaking global barriers and setting new benchmarks, ICAI has reaffirmed its commitment to guiding the next generation of professionals toward brighter, more informed futures.
