A Humble Beginning...

"Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come"

Victor Hugo

RiseUp Associates was an idea. An idea borne out of passion for the subject and compassion to its subjects.

Founded by S. Jaikumar, Advocate, in 2001, RiseUp Associates is studded with an array of advocates, who were ex-officers of the Central Excise and Customs department, enriched with a wealth of departmental experience as well as advocacy, in core areas of practice, RiseUp Associates provides 24x7 support to its clients, both online as well as offline, and serve as an end-to-end handholding partner for the trade and industry, in the indirect tax domain.

A Vision To Fly High...

“Progress is impossible without change…”"

George Bernard Shaw

Change is inevitable. With the paradigm shift in Indirect taxes to the new tax regime, GST, it’s time for RiseUp Associates also to have its tryst with the inevitable.

Embellished in cyan blue with sharp cutting edges, the new logo is a pictoral representation of the cardinal principles of RiseUp Associates. From being a crusader of cause, studded with sharp minds, this logo is also a powerful representation of its core character, being an edifice of trust. The tilted sand glass is meant to depict the gospel truth, “time is of the essence”.

Miles to go...
