Abinas Hussankutty.
Corporate Governance & Company Secretarial Specialist.
What is your favourite quote to live by?
“If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.” — Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
This quote reminds me that excellence in corporate governance comes from consistent discipline and effort, not shortcuts.
Who would be your dream client?
My dream client is an ambitious, growing company that genuinely wants to develop and improve, with a collaborative team that values working closely with their advisers. I particularly enjoy supporting businesses through key moments: investment rounds, succession planning, and share restructuring because clear, practical corporate advice at these turning points can make a real difference to long-term success.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
Outside of work, I’m a keen football fan and enjoy watching matches whenever I can. I also like to use my downtime productively – reading books on personal and professional development, and learning from others about what makes someone effective both in life and in the workplace. I’m also a movie enthusiast and enjoy unwinding with a good film.
What’s your favourite football team?
My favorite football club is FC Barcelona, my first dream team, largely because of Lionel Messi, my idol, and the tiki-taka style of play that defines them. I also have a real affection for Leeds United — having worked there, I came to enjoy the people, culture, and the passionate way the city embraces the game.
If you could give your younger self advice, what would it be?
Believe in yourself, whatever challenges or struggles come your way, and have the confidence to work through them independently. Failures aren’t the end of the world — they’re lessons that ultimately shape your success. As Dr. Kalam said, “If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun” — the effort and resilience you put in now are what build the strength to succeed later.
