This recognition highlights Dr. Andani’s fearless devotion to ethical journalism, his impact as a writer, and his unshakable belief in truth as a transformative force in society.
The International Pen of Conscience Award is more than a personal milestone; it symbolizes Dr. Andani’s lifelong pursuit of excellence anchored in morality and service. The jury citation praised his “fearless expression, moral clarity, and commitment to truth,” values that inspire minds, awaken hearts, and strengthen the foundation of a just society. By joining this exclusive circle of awardees, Dr. Andani affirms the power of the written word as both a weapon against injustice and a torch of conscience.
Born in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, Dr. Andani’s journey reflects resilience and vision. He began as an Assistant Professor of postgraduate taxation before qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 2006 and founding Sai & Co. Yet, he chose not to remain within the boundaries of professional success. For more than 19 years, he has provided free auditing and tax services to over 521 NGOs, trusts, and religious institutions each year. His mission is clear: to make financial systems transparent and accessible for organizations driving social good. This unusual blend of professional expertise and service has made him a respected figure across India’s nonprofit sector.
Dr. Andani’s achievements are not only recognized but etched in history. He holds over 115 world records and has received more than 2,180 national and international honors. Among the most notable are: Best CA of the Year 2022 – Oasis World Records, Bharatiya Seva Ratna Award, Indian International Achievement Award, Pride of India Award, Gaurav Shree Samman, ISST ICON Award, Hindustan Ratna Award, and a nomination for the Gandhi Seva Ratna Award. He has been conferred with multiple honorary doctorates, including from America International University. His name is listed in the Magic Book of Records and acknowledged by the World Human Rights Protection Commission. Among his most remarkable records is serving as tax advisor and auditor for 1,251 NGOs and trusts—a global benchmark of professional service at scale.
Beyond accounting and writing, Dr. Andani has taken on leadership positions in numerous organizations, contributing his strategic insight and financial expertise to social development. His current roles include President, Elite Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ECCI); Vice President, Inti Excellent Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI); Vice President, Gantavaya Sansthan; General Secretary, Nayan Foundation; Executive Director, Wellwiser Trust; Vice Chairman, The Shyam Narayan Singh Foundation; General Secretary, Himalayan Asian Trust; Working President, Param Anandam; Advisor, AR Foundation; Advisor, Pankh Society; and Consultant, IHelp Foundation (Goa). He also works with organizations like Krishna Social Welfare Society, ARK Foundation, and Gantavya Foundation. Through these roles, he supports initiatives in education, women’s empowerment, welfare, and community development.
The award especially honors Dr. Andani’s writings, which go beyond technical expertise to address moral responsibility and social vision. His work exemplifies how the pen can shine as a torch of truth against injustice, act as a voice of conscience in turbulent times, and serve as a tool of transformation inspiring future generations. As the award citation noted: “You have proven that the written word, guided by integrity and purpose, has the power to awaken generations and shape the future.”
What sets Dr. Andani apart is his seamless fusion of professional skill and social activism. While most Chartered Accountants prioritize corporate clients, he focuses on NGOs and social institutions, ensuring transparency and sustainability in their financial practices. At the same time, his writings and philanthropic work inspire thousands, proving that success is most meaningful when shared with society.
With the International Pen of Conscience Award – 2025, Dr. Andani begins a new chapter of influence.

In an era where integrity often takes a backseat, Dr. Shankar Andani stands out as a living example of conscience-led leadership. This award is not just a personal honor—it affirms his lifelong dedication to aligning professional expertise with moral duty. From Ahmednagar to the global stage, his journey underscores one enduring truth: When the pen follows conscience, words transcend writing—they shape society.
