Suril Desai — Co-Founder

To disrupt is to dream with precision. To code consciousness into the future. To stand in the storm and say — this is not chaos, this is creation. I am a disruptor not because I break systems, but because I remind them why they exist in the first place. I am Suril Desai, and I am deeply passionate about navigating the intricate intersection of law and emerging technologies. At Nishith Desai Associates, I lead the disruptive technologies team, where I've spearheaded various initiatives in areas like cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and privatization of space exploration. My role involves not only providing legal counsel to clients but also staying ahead of regulatory developments and devising innovative legal strategies to address the complex challenges posed by the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Beyond my professional endeavors, I have a diverse range of interests and pursuits. I've delved into academic courses in Advance Legal Studies in Counter-terrorism and investigative journalism. These experiences have broadened my perspective and enriched my understanding of multifaceted issues. I am also deeply committed to storytelling through documentaries. "Iron Khan" sheds light on the post-surrender life of a reformed separatist militant from Kashmir, while "Beyond the Border- Afghanistan" showcases the vibrant winter sports community in the Bamiyan region of Afghanistan. These projects allow me to blend my legal expertise with my passion for storytelling, highlighting important narratives often overlooked in mainstream discourse. Moreover, I find fulfillment in contributing to meaningful projects beyond the professional realm. Assisting in the rebuilding of the Chabad House in Mumbai following the 2008 terror attacks is one such endeavor that holds great significance to me, reflecting my commitment to fostering resilience and unity in the face of adversity. In my leisure time, I immerse myself in creative pursuits such as writing poetry and painting. These endeavors offer a welcome escape and allow me to explore my artistic side. Holding exhibitions in India, Madrid, and Rome has been a fulfilling way to share my artistic expression with others and connect with diverse audiences on a deeper level. Overall, my journey is shaped by a relentless pursuit of knowledge, a passion for storytelling, and a commitment to making a positive impact in both my professional and personal endeavors.
