He focuses on corporate and M&A matters and has worked on deals such as Reliance Industries’ US$7.2 billion stake sale to BP and Baring Private Equity Asia’s US$260 million investment in Lafarge India – both of which were among India Business Law Journal’s Deals of the Year.
“Abhijit has had a long innings with us and has been a valued member of our firm,” said managing partner Zia Mody. “He very much wants to pursue his own entrepreneurial path … We will miss him. We wish him all the very best for the future.”
