About

With over eight years of experience in intellectual property law, I am a passionate and driven Senior Associate at Altacit Global, a leading IP boutique firm in India. My core competencies include advising and counseling clients in brand protection, IP generation and protection, compliance management, contracts management, liability and risk management, and litigation support. I have a strong background in computer science and engineering, which enables me to handle complex and diverse IP cases in various domains such as information technology, AI, coal-sampling, biodiversity, and mechanical engineering. I am motivated by the mission of Altacit Global to provide innovative and customized IP solutions to clients across industries and geographies, and I strive to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team. In my current role as a Senior Associate at Altacit Global, I manage a portfolio of clients ranging from startups to multinational corporations, and provide them with strategic and practical advice on brand protection, IP registration, enforcement, licensing, and litigation. I also handle corporate matters such as agreements, tie-ups, and incorporation of companies with CA/CS. I have successfully represented and defended clients in various IP disputes before the courts, tribunals, and authorities. Some of the skills that I leverage in my role are attention to detail, presentations, contractual obligations, and research and analysis. I enjoy working with a dynamic and collaborative team of IP experts, and I am always eager to learn new things and take on new challenges.
