About Corporate, M&A & Private Equity
Law That Moves With Business
I look at law as something that changes with the times, not just rules in a book. For me, it’s all about making sure companies and their boards aren’t just thinking about profits but also about people, community, and the environment. Indian law actually asks for this bigger picture, and I keep a close eye on whether our legal advice is keeping up with these fast changes, especially now with tech and AI mixing things up.
What I Do
- End-to-end corporate legal advisory, from setting up to winding down
 - Deep expertise in M&A, Private Equity/Venture Capital, and all things corporate governance
 - I get my hands dirty with real issues - not just theory
 
Deals That Matter
- Worked on the HDFC merger that grabbed big awards for its impact
 - Advised Viacom18 for snagging BCCI's cricket media rights - huge in the sports world
 - I’ve handled cross-border M&A advisory and stressed asset deals, plus thorny antitrust issues in Indian mergers
 
Private Equity & Venture Capital
- Help funds and companies with investments, exits, and private equity fund formation
 - My work here’s been recognised by industry awards, and my team’s known for deal volume
 
Corporate Governance
- Not just ticking boxes - I talk about board liability in technology deals, how AI shifts board decisions, and how digital transformation governance is changing the game
 - I push for ethical culture, not just compliance
 
Recognition
- Top-tier rankings for M&A and Private Equity by Chambers, Legal500, IFLR1000
 - Deals I’ve worked on regularly win awards and get industry nods

My Story
We’re Argus Partners, built from scratch across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata. I started as a lawyer, but honestly, now I’m more about helping businesses figure out the messy stuff—what’s coming next, not just what’s written in the books. I get a kick out of talking shop with business leaders, sometimes on stage, sometimes over chai. Our team’s all about being dynamic and collaborative. That Legal Icon tag? Really, it’s the team’s win.
