    Ami Parikh, former head of legal and compliance at consumer credit reporting company Experian India, joins the country’s largest decorative paint company Asian Paints Ltd as General Counsel to head its legal and compliance.

    Parikh will be responsible for heading the legal and compliance for the paint company that operates in 14 countries and has 26 paint manufacturing facilities worldwide. With over 60% market share in the decorative segment, the company’s market cap has crossed Rs 3.15 lakh crore.

    An alumnus of the Government Law College, Mumbai from the 2000 batch, Parikh started her career with Hariani & Co and later moved to firms including DSK Legal, Malvi Ranchoddas & C0 and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas.

    In 2017, she joined AZB & Partners as a partner and later moved to Experian India in February 2020 to head its legal and compliance.

    “Ami is a complete go-getter and a detailed oriented person,” said a Mumbai-based lawyer who has worked with her in the past. “Also, she is completely a team member which becomes easier for even the junior most people in her team to put their point forward while dealing with any situation.”

    The move comes at a time when the company is in its transition. Over time, the company has transformed itself from merely a decorative paint company to a complete product and services major that includes over 450 Colour Ideas stores in India and 18 AP Beautiful Homes Stores in India. The company has also launched Safe Painting service and San Assure service, which offers sanitisation of homes and commercial premises.

    According to Pratiek Parikh, an independent legal recruiter, many companies in consumer and capital goods are ramping up their legal teams and mostly preferring veterans with substantial years of experience in both law firms and in-house teams.

    In June, Amit Bhasin, General Manager, Legal - Customer Development and Corporate Secretarial at Unilever, joined listed consumer goods company Marico as the general counsel and head of legal. While, in April, Bijoya Roy, former Group General Counsel and Vice President at Flipkart, joined French liquor major Pernod Ricard as general counsel and head of legal for its South Asia region.
