A Way Forward: Leveraging Next-Gen Leaders — One of the primary motivations for Shruti Kanodia, Managing Partner, Sagus Legal in starting her law firm was to create a workplace in which people can flourish while ensuring highest quality of service to the clients. “Our profession is an inextricable part of our life, just like our family, friends and interests. So, it is important that we enjoy what we do,” she tells us.

In the same vein, Shruti shares that what keeps her going is her belief in constant growth and her hunger for learning. “I genuinely enjoy trying to find workable legal solutions for real-life business problems and when your efforts bear fruit it is inspiring to work harder. Still, we all have our low moments and at that time it is my team and my family that carries me through,” she says.

With a well-established practice in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), banking and finance, regulatory advisory, insolvency and restructuring, dispute resolution and arbitration, Shruti informs that the immediate goal for Sagus Legal is to increase its presence in the market by venturing into more practice areas and newer geographies, including international markets. “Over the next few years, we plan to have pan India offices with more partners and practice area experts. Our goal is also to venture deeper into the interface of law and technology and make legal practice more time efficient and value oriented. We are also making inroads into technology law, data privacy laws, fintech and ESG,” she adds.

A large part of her work, Shruti also believes, is shaping next-gen leaders. “A lone wolf can only get so far. Believe in yourself, be passionate about what you do, work hard and take others with you. You have to set aside your fears and be ready to take risks but not be reckless,” she advises. She believes that roadblocks on the path to success can only be removed with confidence and a collaborative approach. “There is no substitute for teamwork. Just as Michael Jordon said, ‘You have to earn your leadership every day’. You will have to make difficult choices, but you should aim to maintain an overall balance. Build strong support systems to ensure you optimise use of your own energy,” she concludes.

Support change: A little favour to ask-We believe true freedom is to be able to act without fear or favour and that identity is not a “brand” to be abused, politicized, or reduced for personal gain. As Global Indians, the need to work together is greater now than ever before.  If we want to see real change, we need to create a better society for all, tackle injustice and plunge into the many aspects of what the human experience truly offers.The Global Indian Series has been built to be a platform of integrity, fairness and to remain fiercely independent of political influence. We are the first in the world to connect with every echelon of society with all human voices being treated equally.  We are the first to have travelled physically to locations far and wide, often putting our own lives on the line to bring forward stories that deserve to be told.  Whether it’s through our Podcast that delves into the human experience behind identity, our articles and features that cover key events we need to know, or live based events that tackle topical discussions, we have been there to support a better community and planet.Despite the high costs and time needed to maintain our work, we continue, because we know our work has helped more people understand what is happening within the communities across our planet, why it matters, and how, together, we can demand progress.  We challenge head-on, the silent divisions that have crept into our collective consciousness and how to tackle key issues that often go neglected in mainstream media.How you can help:Please share our work: By collaborating with others who share our values, our combined voices make change, with many more becoming inspired to take meaningful action.Subscribe to the platform:Many from across our community have decided to subscribe to our platform.
