SRGR partner Abhishek Awasthi joins Khaitan to ‘fly’ for Delhi real estate boost

SRGR Law Offices partner Abhishek Awasthi has joined Khaitan & Co as a consultant in Delhi to kick off its real estate practice there.

Awasthi said that he moved because there was good opportunity and growth with a good team, as the real estate market was moving up. “Khaitan is the right place to go,” he said.

The real estate practice is headed by Sudip Mullick in Mumbai and it would now look to “flex [its] muscles in the Delhi market”, Awasthi added.

Mumbai partner Haigreve Khaitan commented that the firm was keen to strengthen its Delhi real estate team, which currently included counsel PB Jain.

“I think all over we are seeing huge potential in real estate because of brick and mortar, plus real estate funds and real estate financing,” he said about the market.

Awasthi – a 2007 graduate - would join with the potential for partnership track but not as a partner, as was customary for younger lateral hires so they could “spend some time getting to know the firm” and growing into a partner role, explained Khaitan.

SRGR was started in 2009 by four partners of the Delhi office of FoxMandal Little, as it was then called.

“I wish him all the best,” commented SRGR co-founder Saroj Jha. “He was there with me from the very beginning [when starting the firm] and he is a very well-trained lawyer now and it’s time for him to fly.”

I think Dr. P K Agarwal was leading real estate team of Khaitan & Co, Delhi. Has he left?

Khaitan is not doing good atleast in Real Estate. Apply there and eligibility to get a job is " first get some clients " then get your job!!

The quality of your drafting indeed reflects your overflowing talent! Respect!

Dear O' dear! Must you judge a person's drafting skill based on what simply is a 'comment' typed on a cell-phone, for a web-site article; regrettably full of typographical errors!Oh good Sir,I come here to be amused but unfortunately also manage attention of spiteful people like you. Were you offended because of the latter part of my comment? I reckon so. Its rather obvious. As for my 'talent' it is only apt for me to say, 'I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.'- Albert Einstein!!

haha...!! you are being hilarious now, Sir!! How did you assume existence of a smart-phone when all that the comment mentioned was a 'cell-phone.' Your over-smartness is now very amusing. As for your 'more respect' for me; I see that now you are acting like a Fan!! Relax.

Now, show some respect to the name you are using here and try sounding a little ishmart.!!

Now please don't tell us that you are such smart real estate expert that you can comment on a website through your cell-phone without any internet connection! Seems your firm has not been able to generate work for you so far!

Mr. Awasthi I would like to congratulate you for this achievement. It takes great dedication and perseverance to reach at such a height in a career in such a young age.I strongly feel that you have shown unmatched commitment to reach where you are today. Your achievement is a source of inspiration to folks like us. You were a great person to work with and as of now I have not seen better Team Leader then you.

I can recollect your words "Individuals growth and achievement depends on the community of person working with him" and you have always stood by your words by sharing credits of some of your best work with your team mates(:, which has always pumped-up your team to work even harder for you. You have proved to the world that such achievements are achievable by hard work.

In one of the aforestated comments, one intelligent fellow has given a negative comment on Khaitan's Real Estate Practice, to him/her my only request is to recall the story of "Sour Grapes".

Wow, I thought I was cynical. :)

For what it's worth, I spoke to him for a while and there was never any hint of sarcasm and his philosophy on these matters genuinely seems to mean that he's happy for Awasthi and his new role, so reading the quote out of context might be clutching at straws that aren't there...

Ofcourse! going by his philosophy; Mr. Awasthi has done exactly the same thing that his mentor did couple of years ago! I'm sure there is no bad blood.

BTW,Lawyer saheb, it also implies that you are/were also very 'close' to him to have known how he is referred.

Best of Luck Abhishek. I have seen your work you deserve it. For people writing bad here must be without work and clients, otherwise its difficult to spare so much time to write bad on someones success. Get a life guys.

Now your statement makes no sense. People posting negative comments MUST be without work & clients but those posting positive things are loaded with work and flooded with clients? Is that what u are saying? does not make sense Sir. It does not.! haha!!

@boooooomeraaaaaang, you pretend to be too novice to understand that sometimes people are employed full time for such jobs and hence yes such people would be loaded with work and 'clients'!
