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 @zohosign ), 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.
