Khaitan & Co Private Equity Partner Aakash Choubey has stepped down and will transition to a new role as Strategic Consultant.
Choubey is a 2004 graduate of National Law Institute University, Bhopal. He has an Executive MBA from Harvard Business School.
He joined Khaitan & Co as the firm's first campus recruit in 2004. He had been affiliated with the business for over two decades, acting as a Partner in the M&A and Private Equity Practice Group and often guiding large financial sponsors in their Indian ventures.
Speaking on Choubey's exit, Executive Director Amar Sinhji remarked,
“After more than two decades of extraordinary contribution, Aakash has decided to transition from his existing role as a Partner in the Firm to that of a Strategic Consultant. He is now eager to follow his own entrepreneurial objectives, beyond the legal sphere. As a Strategic Consultant, he will work closely with the Firm Management, to commit more time to cultivating specific high-impact projects that he has helped conceptualise. We wish Aakash all the very best in this next phase of his professional journey and his new role in association with the Firm.”
Speaking about his transition, Choubey remarked,
“After nearly 22 incredible years with Khaitan & Co, I’ve decided to explore something new - outside the traditional boundaries of the legal profession. I am still figuring out the specific shape of that journey, but it’s likely to be in the consumer technology realm, an area that fascinates me tremendously.
That so, my affiliation with the firm is far from over. I will continue to be actively involved in a different avatar, as a Strategic Consultant to the firm, working directly with the leadership on numerous high-impact initiatives. While the time I spend may become more concentrated, I hope the quality of my participation with the partnership and the firm will only deepen.
I am walking away at a time when the firm is in a wonderfully good position -- with a deep and stable partnership, an extraordinary leadership cadre, and an institutional culture that is second to none. I have every faith that Khaitan & Co will continue to go from strength to strength as one of India's premier legal firms.”
