Moti graduated from the (then) University of Singapore in 1970 and upon graduation proceeded to University College London, London, where he obtained his LLM in 1971. Moti did his 6 months pupilage in 3 different firms which was unusual in those days, to get a wider range of experience, and was thereafter admitted to the Singapore Bar in May 1972.

Moti has substantial experience in civil and criminal cases (in the latter, ranging from minor to capital offences). He now confines himself almost exclusively to a conveyancing practice.

Moti continues to be involved in social work. He has served for several years and continues to serve, as a member of the Disciplinary Panel of the Singapore Swimming Club. He was the President of the Sindhi Merchant's Association from 1987 to 1988.
