MUMBAI: Kaushik Moitra, a seasoned legal practitioner with over 15 years in the technology, media and telecommunications sphere, has been promoted to partner and practice lead for regulatory, intellectual property and TMT at Bharucha & Partners.

The Delhi-based lawyer, who cut his teeth at Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd before sharpening his legal claws at B.A.G Films & Media, has been with Bharucha since the firm's 2017 merger with Arthe Law—itself a fresh-faced amalgamation at the time.

Moitra's ascension up the legal ladder comes as no surprise to industry watchers. Having spent nearly eight years at the firm, his expertise spans beyond mere regulatory matters to include private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and the ever-burgeoning start-up landscape.

Before joining Bharucha, Moitra helped establish TMT Law Practice, India's first boutique firm focused exclusively on technology, media and telecommunications—a legal niche that has since become a necessity in the digital age.

The appointment reflects Bharucha's continued commitment to strengthening its regulatory and technology practices as Indian businesses navigate increasingly complex digital waters. For Moitra, it's simply another feather in an already well-decorated cap.
