I co-founded the Asian School of Cyber Laws in 1999, when India had neither a cyber law practice nor cybercrime training for police. Over 17 years we trained police, judiciary, armed forces and corporate teams across India and abroad, built an investigation team spanning 18 countries, and wrote much of the early literature:
1. India's first commentary on the Information Technology Act
2. Cyber Crime Investigation Manual
3. Cyber Crime & Corporate Liability for Wolters Kluwer.
I advised the Department of Information Technology, Government of India on rules under the IT Act, 2000, and the Rajya Sabha Committee on Subordinate Legislation sought my views on the Certifying Authority Rules.
My interest in Blockchain started with an investigation. While assisting police on a case involving organised criminals using bitcoin, I went looking for how the technology worked and stayed.
In 2016 I co-founded Primechain Technologies, which created BankChain - a consortium of 37 banks including SBI, ICICI, Kotak Mahindra and Deutsche Bank, with IBM, Microsoft and Intel. We delivered 8 live projects across shared KYC and AML, cross-border remittance, loan syndication and charge registry, and built the committee structure that governed it: steering, technology, regulatory, business.
Since then the work has been about building new things inside regulatory perimeters rather than outside them.
Hybrid Finance Blockchain (HyFi) received Limited Use Authorisation as a FinTech Entity from IFSCA within the regulatory sandbox at GIFT IFSC, testing tokenisation under supervision.
I also consulted for the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub on CBDC and tokenisation.
Today I run an independent practice, built vDPO for data protection compliance across 29 jurisdictions and 30+ privacy laws, co-founded c4 Lab for cryptocurrency crime investigation and blockchain forensics, and publish open-source AI tooling for legal work.
