What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global-aligned legal, corporate secretarial, and data-privacy compliance—partnering with executives to modernize governance, reduce regulatory risk, and deliver compliant business growth in multinational settings.

I’m a strategic Legal & Compliance leader with 12+ years of experience across IT/ITES, Telecommunications, Manufacturing, Banking, and Advisory sectors. I’m a qualified Company Secretary and Lawyer with an MBA (Finance), bringing deep expertise in corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and data privacy.

Currently, I’m heading Legal, Corporate Secretarial, and Data Privacy at Ubisoft India, leading enterprise-wide compliance aligned with global governance standards. I lead end-to-end legal and compliance framework initiatives, advise senior leadership on governance and regulatory exposure, and strengthen internal compliance monitoring systems and policy frameworks.

I implemented GDPR compliance and am currently driving DPDP Act readiness and privacy governance enhancement. I also ensure compliance under the Companies Act, FEMA, STPI, Customs laws, and global group policies, while managing key board and shareholder processes in line with SS-1 & SS-2.

Previously at VOIS (Vodafone Group), I managed statutory compliance and governance across group entities and played a pivotal role in the Vodafone–Idea Merger, acquisitions, buybacks, dividend declarations, and share transactions. Earlier roles included statutory secretarial audits for listed companies and foundation-building work in retail banking and forex operations at HDFC Bank.
