Founder

ABOUT US

AUCL is the brainchild of Mr. Akshat Khetan, who is a renowned corporate and legal advisor with decades of experience in corporate debt restructuring and insolvency under his belt. He brings to the table a unique fusion of experience-driven business acumen and an unconventional approach to empower clients to conclusively address their problems. This operational tenet is fortified by a firm belief in value creation, enabling him to facilitate turnarounds, whenever and wherever possible.

Akshat firmly believes that any presented challenge can be approached with multiple perspectives and strategies. This 360-degree thought process allows him keen insights that help clients implement managerial, operational, strategic, and organizational reforms to realize the targeted results.

What further strengthens Akshat’s standing in the legal ecosystem is the fact that he does not subscribe to any specific narrative with regards to India’s economy. He believes that economic policies should be inclusive, encouraging, and enabling in nature instead of being prohibitive or regressive in order to truly allow enterprises to accelerate their growth. Profit and income, he insists, are variables that drive the generation of meaningful value for all members of society.
