Senior Vice President, The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The seminar featured a panel discussion on "How can Mediation succeed in India" and discussed on
one of the reasons for alternative dispute resolution not succeeding so far in India was that the
government continued being the
biggest litigator and reluctant to settle disputes. Mr. Anuroop
Omkar, Partner AK & Partners & External Advisor to Centre for Mediation & Conciliation narrated
five successful commercial mediations handled by him in the past. All names and details were
changed to preserve the confidentiality of mediations.
The Session focused on awareness to demonstrate how meditating skills and conflict resolution
skills can be used to solve the cases where the settlement can be done and to enable legal literacy
in the contemporary legal field by the
ones excelling in the same.
