Pawan Laddha

Pawan Laddha brings over 23 years of professional experience spanning FinTech, AI regulation, data privacy and corporate law across India and South East Asia. As Head of the FinTech Practice at AMLEGALS, he operates at the precise intersection where financial regulation, technology law and data protection converge.

His practice covers the full regulatory spectrum of India’s digital financial ecosystem — RBI payment system guidelines, SEBI investment platform regulations, digital lending frameworks, blockchain and cryptocurrency advisory, and DPDPA compliance for FinTech entities.

Before AMLEGALS, he held senior legal and compliance leadership roles at MatchMove (SVP – Legal & Compliance), Freecharge (Director – Legal) and other prominent technology enterprises, giving him an operator’s understanding of how compliance architecture functions inside high-growth companies.

His unique background as a qualified Company Secretary and Advocate with deep in-house FinTech experience means he advises not from theory but from the operational reality of building compliance programmes that survive both regulatory scrutiny and commercial velocity. He is a member of the Emirates Legal Network and advises cross-border FinTech operations across jurisdictions.
