What I’m working on

📶 Consulting

I help clients navigate complex policy issues involving technology. I analyse trends, identify risks and advise on strategy.

I provide a range of services, including policy analysis, legal memos, communications and advocacy support.

My clients include global companies, think tanks and non-profits. I work with a trusted network of experts built over a decade.

📚 Research

I study the impact of technology on society. I’m a non-resident scholar at Carnegie India and a research fellow at the Center for Responsible AI at IIT Madras.

Some of my work:

• On AI, short essays on India’s AI strategy, access to compute, US-India relations and global diplomacy. I’ve also explored the big questions on responsible AI.
• On privacy, calling for a ‘right to be remembered’ and lamenting our apathy towards surveillance
• On digital public infrastructure, about definitions and business models
• On copyright about fair use exceptions for educational uses

🖋️  Writing

I write about my life experiences and lessons learnt along the way:

• 30 things I learnt at 30
• My workspace + morning routine
• Lessons from a wise father
• Reflections on Vietnam

🎓 Teaching

I help students prepare for a career in technology law and policy.

I teach an intro course called “The Principles and Practice of Tech Policy” at the National Law School of India University.
