In Memory of Shweta Ajmera: A Finance Professional Who Was More Than a CA
Shweta Ajmera, a well-known Chartered Accountant from Indore, passed away suddenly this week from a heart attack. She was known for her impressive skills in tax, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and digital forensics. Her professional profile was known for a wide range of skills.
She has given training to law enforcement officers about online financial scams, mentored dozens of young professionals, and helped write important rules to regulate cryptocurrencies in India.
In the past 16 years, she secured a reputation as a bold financial advisor who did not let the traditional role limit her potential. Her company, S Ajmera & Co., became a popular firm for clients who needed help with complex tax issues, cybersecurity checks, tracking digital assets, and following cross-border rules.
Shweta Ajmera was an alumna from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and a law graduate from Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya. In 2025, she continued her education by completing a master’s degree at the Indian School of Business (ISB) with distinction.
Messages from the cybersecurity and digital forensics community quickly filled social media after she suddenly passed away. From forensic labs to government auditors, all shared memories of her positive energy and strong determination. Many tech experts from Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Delhi said she was always “just a call away,” ready to help with ideas on fraud cases or new compliance problems.
Ms. Ajmera was a humble woman. Her friends remember her as someone who never wanted attention but was always ready to give her time, advice, or skills to causes she cared about, whether helping a young forensic intern or advising an NGO on clear financial practices.
