Sanctions and trade compliance professional at DP World, reviewing group-wide escalations and leading screening automation.

India
Message

At DP World, I review and approve group-wide sanctions and export control escalations, assessing shipments and diversion risks under global and Indian regulatory regimes. I also investigate potential breaches and report findings to senior stakeholders.

I lead enhanced due diligence on high-risk counterparties, using trade data, corporate registries and open-source intelligence to investigate ownership and exposure. I’ve also led screening automation through business requirements and calibrated screening configurations.

At Sarjak Container Lines Pvt Ltd (Saksham Group), I led in-house legal work, drafted and negotiated commercial and SaaS agreements, and managed litigation. I achieved an 85% recovery and settlement rate on complex commercial disputes.

Earlier, at CMA CGM Group, I managed cargo claims and pursued recoveries through negotiation and pre-litigation action. I began my legal practice at Lawcite Advocates, working across commercial, maritime, logistics and private client matters.
