About Banking & Finance

Navigating finance law in India isn't simple - it’s layered, always evolving, and honestly, sometimes frustrating. I’m here to cut through the jargon and help you see around corners, not just react to problems once they pop up. Clients tell me they value my direct, practical approach and the fact that I don’t make them wait forever for answers.

What I Do

  • I help banks, NBFCs, fintechs, and corporates handle everything from regulatory compliance for NBFCs to complex project finance transactions.
  • My work in fintech legal advisory covers investments, digital lending rules, and keeping up with changing tech laws.
  • Got a tricky debt restructuring solution or private credit structuring need? I’ve handled those for startups and big institutions alike.
  • I’ve advised on green and sustainable financing too - like funding recycling plants with cross-border loans.

Why Work With Me

  • You’ll deal directly with me, not a junior. I’m hands-on, quick to respond, and I don’t shy away from raising tough issues if it’ll help in negotiations.
  • My work on the HDFC merger and greenfield infra deals got noticed (and awarded) by industry folks.
  • Recognized as a leader in banking and finance law by Legal 500, Chambers, and more. But more than awards, I care about getting the details right so you can move forward with clarity.

If you’re looking for a legal partner who’ll actually tell you what you need to know (not just what you want to hear), we should talk.

We’re Argus Partners, built from scratch across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata.

Really, it’s the team’s win.
