"a sharp corporate lawyer with strong commercial acumen" Khaitan Legal Associates
We value Integrity, Committed listening, Compassion and Thought leadership. We can be counted on for being a lifelong, trusted, and solution-oriented partner. We are a new paradigm in the practice of law". The pioneer of this firm, Sakate Khaitan - the ebullient lawyer, lives up to every word and promise in the company of dynamic colleagues. Sakate's legal journey started in the 1990s. In September 2014, a 7-lawyer corporate law firm was set up, laying the foundation for a litigation practice. Today, it is a 3040 lawyers' firm with offices in London, Mumbai, New Delhi and Bengaluru. Insurance, Regulatory and Dispute Resolutions are some of the distinctive fortes of Sakate and his firm.
Suave and sophisticated Sakate began his career at St. Paul's School Darjeeling, where he completed his ICSE in 1989; completed his Higher Secondary at St.Xavier's College, Calcutta, in 1990 and went on to finish his LLB from SCLC, Calcutta University in 1990 and MBA from London Business School in 2003.
Besides being a Senior Partner with Khaitan Legal Associates, Sakate shoulders many other responsibilities. He is PrathamUK's Board Member & Chairperson; Director and Sr President of ECE Industries Ltd (A BK Birla group of companies) and Board Member Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH).
One can envy Sakate's humility as he is modest to a fault. An aficionado of golf and squash, Sakate also relishes writing. In a freewheeling interview with Prof. Abhijit K.Chattoraj, Sakate Khaitan candidly discussed issues close to his heart and unleashed many unknown facets of his chequered career.

GST 2.0 Reforms: What They Mean for the Life Insurance Industry and Consumers
The Indian insurance industry has long been advocating for rationalisation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on life and health insurance products. With the rollout of GST 2.0 reforms, expectations are high that the sector will finally receive much-needed relief and structural clarity. The reforms aim to simplify compliance, widen the tax base, and rationalise rates—moves that could significantly alter how insurers price products and how consumers perceive insurance as a financial tool.
