New Delhi, India – May 2025 – Sarthak Advocates & Solicitors is proud to welcome Tarun Bhattacharya as a partner.
With close to 3 decades of corporate-legal experience across India, South Asia and other global markets and on projects collectively exceeding US$2 billion, Tarun brings the strategic vision and technical expertise needed to guide clients through India’s accelerating shift to renewable power, battery storage and large-scale utility projects. Prior to joining Sarthak Advocates & Solicitors, he was associated with AES India Private Limited, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based AES Corporation as a General Counsel and Compliance Officer.
Tarun was instrumental in structuring South Asia’s first 10 MW grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System in Delhi in partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation and in providing the legal framework for a major solar-power deployment utilizing Australia’s patented “Maverick” technology.
Commenting on his new role, Tarun says, “I am happy to join Sarthak Advocates & Solicitors at a time when India’s energy and corporate sectors are undergoing transformative growth. The firm’s commitment to delivering tailored, high-impact solutions in energy, project finance, regulatory compliance and corporate transactions aligns seamlessly with my focus on combining legal precision with strategic business insight.”
Earlier in his career, Tarun practiced for a decade at the Allahabad High Court, various tribunals and civil courts, representing prominent public-sector undertakings including NTPC, SAIL, SBI, Power Grid and the Cotton Corporation of India. He has an LL.M. from New York University School of Law and an MBA from the University of Strathclyde (UK). Registered with the Bar Council of India, he has advised major sponsors, lenders and government entities on energy-sector investments across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Eurasia.
Abhishek Nath Tripathi, Managing Partner of Sarthak Advocates & Solicitors, states that “India’s energy sector is at an inflection point as the country races toward cleaner, more resilient power infrastructure. Tarun’s joining will not only strengthen energy and corporate practice at the Firm but his hands-on leadership and his track record in handling landmark transactions will be instrumental in helping our clients navigate technical, regulatory and commercial complexities.”
