Pradeep S. Mehta[1] is the Secretary General of Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS),[2] a non-profit organisation that focuses on providing the poor with access to developmental opportunities. Mehta founded CUTS in 1983 and helped the organisation establish its presence in seven countries around the world. Mehta has been an active member of high-level panels on policies for World Trade Organisation (WTO)[3] and the Government of India.

Mehta is also a regular author of books that discuss about policies and regulations. He serves as a featured columnist with several leading publications.

Career

Mehta's journey with CUTS began in the 80s with the launch of a Hindi monthly wall newspaper known as Gram Gadar.[4] This paper served as a mouthpiece that helped the poor understand the governmental schemes targeted at them. Gram Gadhar's success inspired Mehta to expand his focus – he worked towards ensuring the poor have access to basic amenities, education and equal rights.

Today, CUTS International has a major presence in India through centres that help resolve developmental challenges faced by societies. The organisation also has a presence in Switzerland, Vietnam, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia and the US.[5][6][7][8][9]

Mehta's notable books include 'Evolution of Competition Laws and their Enforcement: A Political Economy Perspective',[10] 'Towards a Functional Competition Policy for India',[11] 'Politics Triumphs Economics?: Political Economy and the Implementation of Competition Law and Economic Regulation in Developing Countries',[12] 'Essays on the International Trading System: An Unfinished Journey',[13] 'Reflections from the Frontline: Developing Country Negotiators in the WTO',[14] among others. Mehta is also a regular columnist with most of India's leading national papers, including The Economic Times,[15] The Hindu Business Line and Mint.

Two Festschrift's have been published in his honour by the name of ‘Growth and Equity’[16] edited by Nitin Desai[17] in 2013 and 'Putting Consumers First'[18] in 2018 by Sanjaya Baru[19] respectively.

Mehta was conferred with the Madhav Award for an old boy of eminence by Shri Kumaramanglam Birla [20] and Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia[21]at Scindia School, Fort, Gwalior on October 21, 2018.[22]

Personal life

Mehta is married to former entrepreneur Aruna Mehta. They have two children.

Mehta completed his schooling from Scindia School, Gwalior in 1965. He then graduated from St. Xavier's College, Calcutta in 1968. He also studied his L.L.B. from Rajasthan University, Jaipur in 1975 but did not write the final exams.
