Abhijit Bhand — Associate Consultant
My mission is to help innovators, creators, and businesses unlock the full potential of their ideas through intellectual property. For over 8 years, I’ve guided individuals and organizations through the complexities of IP - patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, and business contracts. Not just on paper, but in real partnerships with inventors, startups, universities, and businesses. Along the way, I earned two international master’s degrees in IP - one in Poland, focused on IP law and technology, and another in South Korea, exploring the economics of innovation. I was also a WIPO Scholar, which is one of the specialized agencies of the UN. My work has taken me to 15+ countries. Some trips were for client meetings, others for speaking engagements or policy work. But everywhere I went, the core mission stayed the same: listen to people with ideas, and help them legally protect and monetise those ideas. I’ve delivered over 300 invited talks, including at prestigious institutions like FICCI, ICAR, IITs, and even TEDx. I enjoy breaking down IP into something clear, practical, and maybe even a little inspiring. If you’re building something meaningful - a product, brand, or vision - feel free to reach out. I’m here to help you grow through IP!
