Dear Chetan
Going by branding of the variaous finance related professional courses in India, CA is definitely a more popular course. This means it has wider scope in terms of getting opportunities in job market than any similar course including ICWA.
But yes, there is surely a steady gain in acceptance of CWA in market given that cost competitiveness is a major thurst for almost all companies. This is evident in job portals / employment newspapers where one can easily notice that in most places the candidates needs to be CA / ICWA.
And finally CA+ICWA is a very good combination as it reflects a fine blend of financial reporting, financial management and direct and indirect taxation.
Before closing, based on my experience I will CA definitely has an edge over ICWA in current scenerio.
