About

Co‑Founder & Chief Legal Officer at Bombay Hemp Company (BOHECO) · Chairman at Pan India Medical Cannabis & Hemp Association (PIMCHA) · Mumbai, India. As Co‑Founder and Chief Legal Officer at BOHECO, I apply my legal expertise and entrepreneurial drive to the emerging hemp and cannabis sector in India. My work spans regulatory strategy, supply‑chain design, crop‑cultivation oversight, and IP/trademark protection — all underpinned by hands‑on engagement with farmers, field operations and policy development. I also serve as Chairman of PIMCHA, a national industry association dedicated to fostering a responsible, sustainable, inclusive medical cannabis & hemp ecosystem in India. My background in commerce and law combined with field‑level experience helps me bridge the gap between grassroots agricultural realities and complex regulatory frameworks. Key areas of focus: Legal/regulatory strategy for hemp & cannabis ventures Supply chain planning and agricultural process optimisation Farmer engagement, seed‑breeding initiatives and textile/hint‑ecosystem building Hemp Textiles expertise including fibres and yarns IP, trademark and third‑party contract management Industry advocacy and ecosystem building Driven by a belief in indigenous agricultural potential and a commitment to ethical, forward‑looking agribusiness, I look to collaborate with partners in research, policy, cultivation and commercialisation of hemp‑based solutions.
