Indian's Most Powerful Woman: Zia Mody - A Legend Of The Legal Universe

The highly anticipated Top Most Powerful Women by Fortune India is finally out. While Anushka Sharma made headlines for being the youngest woman and also the only Bollywood actor featured on this list, all eyes are on the one who tops the list this year. And she is none other than the profession of law and also a noble one Zia Mody.

It’s not exaggerated to say Mody is a seasoned legal consultant who has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the field of legal services thanks to her deep expertise, wide experience and great passion for giving justice to clients.

For those unversed, she started learning the legal business from her dad who is also a celebrated legal consultant serving as the Attorney General of India since she was little.

Zia is now the founder cum managing partner of AZB & Partner and she has catered to many multinational clients. The AZB is one of the reputed and largest law firms in India. With continuous engagement, a rational approach has made AZB become the first choice of many clients.

In an interview with Insight Success, she was asked on the challenge as a woman in the legal market and how she maintains a balance between work and family.

“Yes, it is surely more challenging. The inherent bias in favour of men to argue a client’s case in court still persists. Not much has improved. However, when it comes to non-contentious work, women are far more recognised and visible, especially in general corporate practice. As for maintaining a balance between career and home, it is almost impossible,” said her.
