Born in Sitamarhi, Deepak Sharma did not have an illustrious background, no financial cushion, and no contacts in the legal establishment. All he had was a indomitable will and an insatiable hunger to succeed. Now 29 years old, today he is redefining the tax litigation paradigm and rocking the boat as one of India's most powerful legal minds.
Popularly known as the 'Taxation Entrepreneur of India,' Deepak has made the erstwhile-scary universe of tax litigation his playground. He is the mastermind behind Calcutax Advisory, an outfit that's now synonymous with victories in high-value tax warfare. In this financial year 2024-2025 alone, he settled cases of tax litigations amounting to a whopping Rs. 10.64 crores—a performance only a few lawyers can boast, leave alone someone so young. But Deepak is more than a number guy; he's a strategy guy, a detail guy, and a mysterious knack for flipping the tables on behalf of his clients. Having notched an 304-case win streak, he has secured the confidence of India's most distinguished taxation firms and business heads. It’s inspiring to see all the achievements because, he comes from a family where his father was to a samosa-seller and he established all his achievements right from the scratch. What makes him stand apart is not only an understanding of the tax codes—but the talent for resolving tough cases with originality and authority.
His influence goes far beyond the courtroom. Deepak has taken it upon himself to make tax litigation easy for businesses and individuals, so they don't only survive the law but prosper within it. His strategy is guided by the belief that taxation should enable business, not weigh it down, and his philosophy represents that ideal.
The future holds even larger ambitions for Deepak. He's planning to set up several tax advisory firms across India, creating a powerhouse of legal intellects devoted to unfolding the mysteries of tax laws.
His dream is to create a system in which businesses can operate without fear, feeling confident that they have the finest legal support money can buy.
From a son of a samosa vendor to a trailblazing lawyer, he has consistently demonstrated that passion, perseverance, and determination can shatter every obstacle. And as he goes on to break new records, one thing is for sure—his story is not yet complete. It's just beginning.
