# Sameer Jain, Aanchal Basur appointed Chair and Vice Chair of ICC India Arbitration Group 2026-08-19T18:40:40+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The ICC India Arbitration Group has appointed Sameer Jain as Chair and Aanchal Basur as Vice Chair, effective September 1, 2026. Jain is Managing Partner at PSL Advocates & Solicitors and Basur is Partner at AB Law. Both are members of the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR and previously served as regional representatives of ICC's Young Arbitration and ADR Forum from India. Jain succeeds Shashank Garg, under whose leadership the Group expanded engagement with practitioners, in-house counsel and students. Claudia Salomon, President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, welcomed both appointees, praising their experience and long-standing association with ICC. Jain and Basur will lead efforts to promote ICC arbitration and ADR services in India through conferences, workshops and policy discussions. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The ICC India Arbitration Group is a key platform for promoting international dispute resolution in India, a country with a growing arbitration caseload. The appointments of Jain and Basur, both with strong institutional ties, signal continuity in the Group's strategy to deepen engagement with corporate counsel and young practitioners. The real test will be whether they can expand India's share of ICC arbitration seats, which currently lags behind Singapore and London. Next up: the Group's annual conference, typically held in early 2027, which will showcase their agenda. ## Coverage - barandbench.com Straight announcement of appointments with direct quotes, no editorial slant.
