About

Sanjit Kaur Batra started her career as a litigating attorney working at law firms and international agencies for several years before joining DuPont in 2012 as an in-house counsel. She became the legal head in 2014 and is actively involved in the country leadership team. She fulfils her role by going beyond the purely general counsel role; working on some very complicated M&A transactions in addition to being actively involved in policy advocacy for the organisation as a part of the broader industry forums. Batra highlights that, ‘all of these profiles have helped me become a holistic lawyer and work with my organisation to provide solutions while being able to comprehend the short term and long term risks’. She has worked on all of DuPont’s most important M&A activities as well as divestures and IP litigations. She approaches her role with a philosophy of digitisation, clear accountability for each member of the legal team and giving exposure to the team to meet their developmental needs. She says that, ‘this has helped the team become a more efficient and effective business enabler for the organisation’.
