From Small-Town India to Boeing’s Boardroom: Dr. Akhil Prasad on Law, Leadership and Leaps

What does it take to lead with heart in a world full of noise?

In this powerful episode of The General Counsel Series (presented in proud collaboration with Zoho Sign), we sit down with Dr. Akhil Prasad, Executive Director & Group Head of Legal at Boeing India.

Overcoming early personal losses to earning 12 academic degrees (including two PhDs), doing a 7-hour daily commute in crowded public transport to being on the board of directors of Boeing India - Dr. Akhil has seen it all.  

In this episode, Dr Akhil speaks about:

• How to build discipline through struggle
  
  
  
  


• The real definition of productivity (hint: 48 hours in 24)
  
  
  
  


• Why kindness, humility, and collaboration are power skills
  
  
  
  


• His vision for solving India’s employability crisis
  
  
  
  


• What it means to lead legal teams through chaos with calm
  
  
  
  


• And why tech must solve human problems - not just digitise tasks
  
  
  
  

Whether you're a lawyer, a law student, a leader, or someone figuring out your next move, this episode will leave you richer in thought and spirit.
