Can you share details about your professional background and experiences?

I bring over 30 years of experience in legal affairs, having started my career after completing a physics degree and subsequently graduating in law from Mangalore University. I practiced as an advocate in various courts in Kerala, including High Court.

My corporate career journey commenced at the Bank of Baroda, where I dedicated 17 years to refining my skills in drafting, documentation, and legal affairs. Subsequently, I transitioned to ING Vysya Bank, now Kotak Mahindra Bank, where I provided crucial legal support for various products.

In 2015, I joined Bandhan Bank, playing a pivotal role in its evolution from MFI into a Universal Bank. My contributions included the launch of over 500 branches, finalizing essential documentation, and obtaining regulatory licenses.
