Deputy General Manager - Legal
COWRKS
India
Legal leader with 12+ years of experience spanning banking, fintech, real estate, and infrastructure sectors. I specialise in building legal functions from the ground up, leading post-acquisition integrations, and driving contract operations at scale across fast-growing and regulated industries.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
– Built and led a 7-member legal team at a high-growth proptech startup, establishing complete legal infrastructure from zero.
– Currently handling post-M&A integration including SPV structuring, trademark portfolio consolidation, and SPA conditions fulfilment.
– Standardised contract frameworks across banking products (payments, insurance, lending, merchants) at a Bank, reducing turnaround time and legal risk.
– Managed legal matters for infrastructure projects valued at hundreds of crores, including bid processes, concession agreements, EPC and project finance documentation.
MY APPROACH:
I combine commercial pragmatism with risk awareness, partnering with business teams to enable growth while limiting the legal risk exposure at the organisation. I add the most value in environments that demand:
• Legal process and team building.
• Cross-functional stakeholder management.
• Navigating regulatory complexity.
• M&A transaction support and integration.
