About

Now general counsel for the South Asia cluster at Siemens, a German multinational engineering company, Saugata Chakravarty can look back on a career that saw him undertake a rapid progression through the ranks of one of the world’s premiere companies. After completing an LL.M in Commercial Law in 2004, Chakravarty took up an associate position with Mumbai-based law firm Gagrats, where he gained experience of high-level deals, including assisting in the takeover of Air Sahara by Jet Airways in January 2006. Deciding to move in-house in 2007, Chakravarty took up a legal manager role with Siemens, where he learned first-hand the intricacies of managing in-house legal work at a large multi-national corporation. Now among the most senior lawyers at Siemens, Chakravarty has climbed the corporate ladder via a strategy of consistent interaction with management and effective leadership of diverse elements within the team, all underpinned by a passion for the work undertaken by the business. The legal team that Chakravarty now leads at Siemens deals with a variety of legal matters, although their core area of advice is in projects and infrastructure. They aim to conduct as much legal work through the in-house team as possible, preferring to capitalise on the economic benefits that this allows rather than through instructing external counsel.
