The banking and finance team brings a wealth of experience from prior roles in-house at leading private and public sector banks, corporate houses in India, debt funds, and private credit lenders—alongside independent experience as commercial and civil litigators. Many are active members of esteemed industry bodies and committees that play a vital role in shaping law, policy, and best practices in finance, both in India and internationally.
