About Konark Gupta

I am a Corporate & Commercial Counsel with 6+ years of experience across in-house legal roles and law firms. I currently work as in-house counsel at a VC-backed startup, where I own commercial contracting, corporate compliance, and venture transactions for a fast-scaling business.My work spans high-volume commercial and design-and-build contracts, complex financing and leasing structures, and venture transactions, including equity fundraising and venture debt. I have structured and implemented multi-party arrangements involving banks, enterprise clients, and cross-border counterparties.Prior to moving in-house, I worked extensively on high-value commercial litigation and arbitration, which informs my approach to contract drafting, risk allocation, and enforcement strategy. I bring a practical, execution-focused mindset.
