Though coming from a family of lawyers, Vineet pursued his career in law only after testing his mettle in chartered accountant and company secretary ship programs. Having begun as a practicing lawyer with Delhi High Court and several district courts, the diverse nature of his responsibilities coupled with his excellent analytical & interpersonal skills, solution-oriented approach, an eagle eye to spot the risks and superb decision-making ability gave him the impetus to pursue an in-house counsel role
