Getting released from a company while the contract states 60 days' notice period

Hi Sir/Madam,

I am working with an E-Commerce company. I gave a resignation letter to my company for one month's notice. But in my agreement, it is stated that:

The Employee is required to give 60 days prior written notice to the Employer to terminate this Contract. In the event that Employee gives notice of resignation, this Contract will terminate (the "Termination Date") 60 days from the effective date of the resignation (the "Resignation Date").

From the time of notice until the Termination Date, Employee shall cooperate in all respects in providing transition services to the Company to a standard of professionalism appropriate to Employee's current position in the Company.

The Company and Employee may, by mutual agreement, elect to make Termination Date effective at some time shorter than two months from the Resignation Date.

Please, can you give some suggestions on how can I be released from my current company?

Since it's an unlimited contract and I've been working with the company for 7+ years.

Pursuant to your query, you are required to serve a notice period of 60 days as per your employment contract.

In the event that you wish to shorten the timeframe of the notice period, it will only be possible subjective to a mutual agreement with your employer.
