Part IVBackground

Before the Bar, and since

I came to law after careers in journalism, co-operative banking and corporate management. As a reporter with Sanjvarta, Maharashtra Herald, Mid-Day and The Economic Times I covered co-operative societies, business, infrastructure and civic administration. At The SVC Co-operative Bank I worked on accounts, maintenance collection and financial processes for housing societies, and I later served in senior management at BVG India Limited.

That background shapes how I read a society’s books, a redevelopment agreement or a commercial contract.
