What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my legal expertise and offers opportunities for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a seasoned legal consultant with extensive experience in drafting and negotiating agreements, regulatory compliance, and risk management. Currently, I serve as a Senior Legal Consultant, where I focus on formulating legal processes and conducting comprehensive reviews to ensure compliance with RBI guidelines. My expertise lies in navigating complex legal landscapes and providing strategic legal opinions that drive business success.

Previously, I held the position of Assistant General Manager – Legal at Paytm Payments Bank Limited, where I was instrumental in drafting agreements for payment services and presenting insights on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. My tenure at Bankit Services Private Limited as Senior Manager – Legal allowed me to structure the legal department and lead a team in managing various legal aspects of fintech operations, including compliance with RBI and other regulatory bodies.

With a strong academic background, including an LL.M in Corporate & Financial Laws, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging my legal expertise to support organizational goals and foster compliance.
