Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas

With a focus on the merger control side of antitrust and competition law, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas has amassed extensive experience acting for household names in high-value and high-profile transactions. While the group has a solid track record for clearing both domestic and cross-border investments, acquisitions, and mergers, the team is also adept at handling complex antitrust cases relating to allegations of anticompetitive practices, related litigation, and bid rigging investigations. With a robust offering and multijurisdictional capabilities, the practice continues to grow its client roster, consisting of notable names from the technology, banking and finance, and healthcare sectors. Co-leading the department are managing partner Cyril Shroff and merger notification authority Avaantika Kakkar. Kakkar stands out for her aptitude at merger defence, vertical restraints, and merger objections. The practice also benefits from the expertise of Dhruv Rajain who regularly leads on predatory pricing complaints, cartelisation allegations, and leniency applications. Other key members of the group include Vijay Pratap Singh Chauhan, Kaustav Kundu, and Ananya Mahant.
