About

Abhijit Mukhopadhyay heads the central legal function at Hinduja Group, one of the largest diversified conglomerates in the world. While the group’s companies are located in a number of jurisdictions and are run on a day-to-day level by their boards, Mukhopadhyay works from Hinduja Group’s London headquarters to deal with legal issues relating to investments and overall strategy. In this capacity he has to work closely with the Hinduja family, who take a very hands-on approach to the company and insist on the highest levels of professionalism. Overseeing the activities across a $25bn conglomerate would be challenging enough for most GCs, but Mukhopadhyay also finds time for an impressive array of outside interests. He is, among other things, an advisory board member of the International Bar Association, a faculty member of the Global General Counsel Academy, a member of the India Business Forum of the Confederation of Indian Industry in the United Kingdom, and chairman of its Immigration Task Force. Mukhopadhyay is also an active and well-respected member of the international arbitration community and sits as a European Board Member of the CDR Dispute Resolution Board. For his wide-ranging contributions to Indian legal and commercial matters, he is recognised here as an outstanding global GC.
