Senior Manager - Legal & Compliance
National Commodities Management Services Limited
India
“Law is not a profession at all but rather a business service station and repair shop.” – Adlai E. Stevenson II
Over the last 21 years, my career has spanned courtrooms, corporate boardrooms, and regulatory corridors. I’ve managed everything from 5,000+ cheque dishonour cases at Airtel to 300+ pan-India disputes at Viom, and later, built compliance frameworks that delivered zero regulatory issues at NCML. Each role has deepened my belief that legal leadership is about more than risk mitigation. It’s about creating stability that businesses can build on.
At National Commodities Management Services Limited, I not only recovered over ₹28 Cr through litigation but also instituted policies and SOPs that standardised compliance across warehousing operations. In healthcare, I safeguarded Artemis Hospitals against complex negligence claims. In telecom, I reduced contract turnaround to just 24 hours, proving that legal processes can be both airtight and agile.
What sets me apart is the diverse canvas of my experience: from land acquisition and regulatory clearances to multi-crore litigation recoveries, and from advising senior management on cross-border agreements to mentoring legal teams nationwide. I thrive in environments where law is not a constraint but a tool for transformation.
Outside of statutes and case files, I value clarity, fairness, and collaboration. Because the strongest compliance cultures are built on a shared belief in doing things right.
