From My First Brief to Eleven Years Before the Court: A Journey of Learning, Grit, and Growth

Blog

When I first stepped into the corridors of the Bombay High Court as a young advocate, I carried more books than confidence.

After 11 years of continuous practice before the Bombay High Court and the District Court Pune, I realize that litigation isn’t just about knowing the law;

It’s about patience, strategy, resilience, and trust.

Every courtroom battle taught me something:

  • How to listen more than argue
  • How to prepare beyond what is required
  • And how to build trust, not just win cases.

From white collar crime matters to complex commercial disputes, each case has shaped my understanding of people, businesses, and the pursuit of justice.

This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the mentorship I received, the mistakes I learned from, and the belief that law is a service, not just a profession.

Today, I stand with:

  • 11 years of independent practice
  • Specialization in white collar crimes, bodily offences, and commercial litigation
  • A commitment to pro bono work for marginalized communities

Grateful for where I started, but even more excited about the path ahead.

If you are passionate about the law, remember — the courtroom doesn’t just demand knowledge; it demands character.
