At the early age of 12, Sidharth was seen arguing his first case at a race competition. Little did anyone know how this penchant for justice was going to translate into a glorious career in law. In this interview with Ashima Ohri, Sidharth shares his views on some of the burgeoning legal issues, his experiences, and what it takes to be a 40 Under 40 top lawyer!
Sidharth, would you please tell us where did this illustrious journey begin and at what age did you decide to study law. Please walk us through your early years of education and the decision of becoming a lawyer.
At the outset, my sincere gratitude to BW Legal World for the opportunity and the honour bestowed upon me.
I was born and raised in a small town called Solan in Himachal Pradesh. I did my schooling from Geeta Adarsh Vidyalaya, Solan; and studied law from ILS, Pune.
I am a first-generation lawyer and do not have any pedigree of lawyers in the family. I cannot recall a definitive moment when I decided to become a lawyer. I can only remember my parents imbibing in me the values, pursuit of justice, social welfare and standing up to any atrocities, early on.
