Bijoya Roy has spent over two decades in the profession gathering experience across the globe. From her early days in Mumbai working for companies like Tata Housing, Asian Paints and Kodak, Bijoya went on to qualify as a Solicitor of England and Wales in 2008. She joined Thomson Reuters and spent 10 years with them, first as a senior lawyer in their EMEA team, based out of London and later being posted in Dubai supporting the global emerging markets of India, China, ASEAN, Latin America, Middle East, Africa, Russia and parts of Europe. Ms. Roy returned to India in 2019 to join Flipkart as their Group General Counsel.

Her experience has seen her manage teams spread across geographies, some large and in excess of 50 lawyers and some much smaller. During the course of her professional journey, Bijoya has specialised in European Competition Law, technology laws and litigation strategy. Thriving in complex environments, her professional journey has taken her from real estate to data and technology, e-commerce and the consumer industry. From handling high-powered litigations with claims in excess of Euro 60 Million to tackling FDI-related existential crisis’, the Enforcement Directorate and Competition Commission investigations into the e-commerce sector, Ms. Roy has had a rewarding experience of honing her skills as an astute legal professional.

An ardent believer in diversity and inclusion, she likes to actively mentor and champion younger women lawyers looking to create their own growth stories.

I have always believed in Jack Welch’s words that: “Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.” Leaders shine brightest when they allow their teams to shine brightest first
