Shruti built her career as a competition lawyer at two of India’s foremost competition law practices, where she gained experience in merger control, having handled several multi-jurisdictional transactions from start to finish. She has also actively contributed to competition policy developments through advocacy efforts via leading industry associations and engaged in extensive research for the Competition Law Review Committee in 2019. She continues to keenly study global developments in the regulation of digital markets and the intersection between competition law and privacy regulation.
Shruti’s interest in breaking down complex issues into simple parts has stood her in good stead over her eight years of competition law practice, having worked in sectors as varied as oil & gas, airlines, sports, automobiles, and more recently, app ecosystems. Her training in design helps her to think creatively, communicate effectively, and imagine the bigger picture in more ways than one.
Outside of work, Shruti divides her time between Bengaluru and Darbhanga tending to two terrace gardens and her (growing) number of cats.
