Most of the the people running NUJS are political weathercocks. They will align with whichever party is in power. That’s why nothing is happening now.
But must admit, clever way to extract which disputes team is good
Partners, like Shashank, though technically counted as disputes, do mostly advisory work for an IT sector client. Same can be said about Swati, although she does more litigation work, however, it's the same type of intermediary liability matters. Varun also primarily does these type of matters, and he doesn't even do much advisory work, ▮▮▮. Shally is the EP overseeing the Varun, Swati, Shashank vertical and has a small litigation team of her own too. Shally is more more rounded litigator and AoR. Her core team does a wider array of matters. Basically, Shally took over the vertical from TK after his elevation.

Consider Ajoy's team for a broader range of core disputes work.
I have recurring regrets deep inside my mind which would surface at random moments. That I could never secure a Rhodes scholarship, I could never attempt a Vis Moot or a Jessup, I could never get a vacation scheme with a Magic Circle law firm, I could never know the feeling of campus placements.
The only silver lining now is that I have an assessment internship with a T1 law firm, and a ton of backup plans I have actively putting effort into , so I know that despite my shortcomings , me apni life ke sath kuch na kuch dhang ka toh kar hi lunga..
Also, MEA/MHA clearance is required (do your research) when people from Pakistan, etc lecture impressionable minds in our intellectual spaces.
That said, the bonus policy is just arbitrary and unfair, and that cannot be disputed. Work can get very intense, and the team should try to be as accommodating as possible until the work gets done.
Just a question, is this only for a certain team or is it a firm wide poicy?
first, the bad - comments are correct to the extent that primary work is WC & L&E (which btw are the biggest pain points for MNCs to navigate in India); They have a very big client that is at the forefront of a lot of issues in e-commerce, so the understanding that this team has (especially Sumit Ghoshal and Rachit) regarding that sector of the law is unmatched.
The good - both Rachit and Rohan are extremely nice people, super accessible and easy to approach. Rachit has low patience for ill-thought out research, but is uber receptive to well-done work. Rohan is one of the nicest people I've met in this industry, and has tracked data privacy from the get-go.
Tech practice in India itself is largely championed by MNC issues. A lot of criticism levied here can as easily be said about a lot of other people.
