Skanda Shekhar

I am a counsel based in New Delhi, India. I regularly represent clients in disputes before various legal fora and advise them on high-stakes matters. Before training as a lawyer, I studied physics and engineering, and worked on modelling transistors that operate at nano scales.

When not at work, I can be found interacting with new people, keeping fit, enjoying great music, or simply unwinding with some poetry. I am also an amateur aviation enthusiast and hope to learn to fly someday.

The following lines by Ralph Waldo Emerson always inspire me:

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded."
