LI conveniently does not mention AZB Mumbai partner Ratnodeep RoyChowdury quit. No one from Ashwat team made partner is telling. All those PAs and Partner Designates brought from CAM now left languishing. Prerak was Partner Designate last year in CAM, Jasmine, Pallavi and Atreya too not made up. May explain recent exodus from Ashwat team at SA level. Pragna being latest to leave. All the ex Cammies realising their folly. Shishir and Cyril are having the last laugh.

Aditya Jha, who is very much a part of Ashwath's team, was made Partner a few weeks ago. Yet to be formally announced.

It's well known that LI is biased in favour of AZB. Anti azb comments are often censored. Death of free media.

For example how legally India did not do a story on the alleged molestation case. It would be good know the monetary/ financial benefit legally India gets from the firm. Ethical standard of reporting.

This keeps surfacing. I've spoken to most people involved and dotted all i's and crossed all t's on this allegation over several months and there's absolutely nothing reportable and everything had been dealt with to everyone's satisfaction, to the best of my knowledge.

A story of that nature did not deserve any reporting? More importantly, what benefits do you get from azb? Monetary or otherwise. How about a declaration to that effect? Any conflicts to disclose?

Nice trolling buddy... :) If you really actually want an answer, it is 'no' and 'none', though I doubt that declaration will satisfy you? ;)

And if you are actually interested in the story, please feel free to contact me directly in confidence and I can explain why the story should not be reported, though it would be inappropriate to discuss this publicly.

Here is a long previous thread discussing this if you are interested:

Take your word for it. As far as the story goes, am privy to the facts. But am of the opinion that it deserved a story. We can agree to disagree.

Like I said, do feel free to reach out directly, would love to hear the reason or facts I may not be privy to (or you can post it in a comment marked not for publication here, if you wish to remain completely anonymous).
