About

Mohit Shukla first took a leadership position in a legal function in 2001, and with 11 years of in-house experience he rose to his current position as managing director India legal with Barclays Bank in 2010, adding the compliance function to his responsibilities in 2017. In previous roles, Shukla created legal functions from scratch and modelled them as a working partner to businesses. He has applied this methodology to his current role. At Barclays, Shukla is a member of the Asia Pacific regional leadership team for legal, the Asia Pacific compliance management team. He represents legal and compliance on the India country management committee, and on the executive committee of the India operations and technology services company. His role is to manage the legal function in India comprising of 10 lawyers, and the compliance functions with a team of 70 compliance professionals as well as all cross-border transactions, regulatory matters and the implementation of policies relating to legal changes. Shukla values leading from the front and being an integral part of the enterprise, and considers this to be what makes in-house counsel not only successful but credible, and the one key element that provides a significant wealth of experiential learning and growth. Shukla identifies that, ‘challenges are best dealt with rather than avoided, and they come in all forms and shapes, but each one of them only adds to what you learn from them, and all of it in the aggregate gives you the tools you need to deal with the new ones that come your way’. He adds that ‘the ability to adapt is a habit that has to remain a primary constant in this context and with it comes the attendant requirements of continuous up-skilling, and investment in learning, enhancement of delivery as [well as] the speed and the quality of delivery’.
