This is the crux of who we are. It is an articulation of precision in purpose, from the Firm’s beginnings to where we are today. Our collective eye is unerringly trained on tomorrow.

Deep sectoral expertise across services and industries.

Our insistence on strategic advisory exacts an in-depth understanding of and involvement with our clients’ businesses and industries. We engage not just individual businesses, but also contribute to the country’s legal and regulatory frameworks.

Personal commitment supported by experience and grit.

We commit early. We pull together internally for greater support. Every effort is sincere, every individual deeply dedicated to their task, their role, to the Firm.

Our undertakings for long-term impact are an organic extension of our purpose.

They are to employ our deep knowledge of the law beyond the business, the transaction, the deal. To use the opportunities and skills we possess, to reflect on the culture we’re creating. Individually and collectively, these are our efforts to help shape the thinking of our future generations, and arm them with strategies for true, sustainable growth.

Knowledge-sharing is intrinsic to equity and inclusivity.

This is a repository of thought leadership, deep insights and strong viewpoints, legal and other news and events and how they impact the industry and our clients.

Relevance is critical to growth. It necessitates a firm that is dynamic and responsive.

Amplifying intrinsic talent, sharpening skills, expanding knowledge, is vital to leading. It defines every aspect of how our firm functions and transacts. This is how we create new benchmarks and set industry standards.

Aviation Round-up January – June 2025

Our Aviation Round-up recaps significant developments in the Indian aviation industry in the first half of 2025.

The Bharatiya Vayuyan Vidheyak, 2024 was implemented in January followed by the announcement of the extension of the UDAN scheme in the Union Budget 2025-26 and the revision of the flight duty time limitation in February. We also saw some significant transactions like the first aircraft acquisition by an Indian bank through GIFT-City in March, CCI’s approval of the acquisition of Akasa Air’s shareholding and the expansion of FLY91’s fleet in April. The  Cape Town Act, 2025  was implemented in May which also increased India’s CTC compliance index score. May also saw another great rating – which was the first ever for an airline, from Moody’s to IndiGo. The 81st IATA AGM and World Air Transport Summit was held in New Delhi in June. In the same month Akasa Air added a 29th aircraft to their fleet.
