Background

About Manish K Salian

As a Legal, HR and Operations professional with over 12 years of cross-functional experience, I bring a unique blend of strategic legal acumen and people-centric operational leadership. Currently serving as Manager - Legal and Operations at Sclera, I lead initiatives that bridge legal governance with organizational efficiency, ensuring compliance, clarity, and cohesion across all levels. My journey has taken me through the domains of contract lifecycle management, HR operations, compliance, intellectual property, and corporate strategy. From drafting contracts to leading HR teams, I thrive on crafting structured solutions that align with business goals while empowering people and protecting institutional integrity. I am also a PhD researcher in Law at Karnatak University, exploring contemporary legal frameworks and their practical implications in the corporate world. My prior roles with Robosoft Technologies, 99Games, and reputed academic institutions like Alliance and REVA University have sharpened my ability to navigate dynamic environments with legal precision and empathetic leadership. 🧠 What drives me? It’s the opportunity to lead with purpose, learn continuously, and foster cultures of trust, collaboration, and innovation. I believe that legal knowledge is most powerful when it's accessible, practical, and serves as an enabler—not a bottleneck—for growth. Whether I’m working on a cross-border IP issue or mentoring a new HR team member, I strive to create value with integrity, curiosity, and heart.
