About

Starting his career in 1994, Suprio Dasgupta has held a number of senior positions at the Indian subsidiaries of some of the world’s largest conglomerates; including GE, Honeywell International and Schneider Electric. In 2015, after collecting extensive experience, Dasgupta moved to Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, an Indian multinational pharmaceutical company with annual revenues of circa $2.3bn. Serving as senior vice president and group general counsel, Dasgupta is responsible for the legal function which spans across more than 20 countries, leading a global team of 34 lawyers. Since joining the company, his top priorities have included addressing change management, creating niche roles to support businesses globally and address their unique needs, Dasgupta was quick to identify simplification, digitiliasation and cost optimisation as the most critical actions which have impacted the company. Upgrading and scaling up the capability and competency of the team was also part of Dasgupta’s change process: ‘building stakeholders’ confidence and ensuring my counsel are more business savvy, were some of the strategic priorities too’.
