In today’s episode, we speak with Rajiv Bakshi, one of India’s most respected voices in corporate law and legal leadership. With a career spanning several decades, Rajiv has seen the legal profession from almost every vantage point—starting from litigation and industrial dispute resolution to serving asGeneral Counsel for some of India’s most prominent companies, including JSW Steel, Dabur, Godrej, and currently adviser to Deepak Fertilisers.

What makes this conversation particularly compelling is not just the breadth of his experience, but the clarity with which he reflects on the inner life of the profession. We discuss how the role of in-house counsel has evolved from risk management to strategic value creation, the often-unspoken leadership principles that hold legal teams together, and the structural insecurities that continue to affect mental health in the legal ecosystem.

We also speak candidly about fear, failure, burnout, and ethics—topics that affect young lawyers and senior professionals alike, but are rarely addressed with honesty and nuance. This is a conversation about law, leadership, and longevityin the profession.

If you are a law student, a practicing lawyer, an in-house counsel, or simply someone interested in how institutions are built and sustained, this episode offers both perspective and practical wisdom.
