Speaking on the win, Jain said,
“In-house counsel’s role is becoming more complex than ever since not
only are they expected to have technical legal competence but also need
to understand business in-depth; therefore this award is a recognition
of excellence at business, leadership and law. The Media &
Entertainment (“M&E”) sector in India has experienced robust growth
over the last decade and the regulatory front of the sector has
transformed over these years, throwing numerous challenges and growth
opportunities. As we enter the new frontiers of digitization in the
Media and Entertainment Industry, we will continue to evolve best
practices for our legal, regulatory, IP and compliance needs.”
