Rajnish Jayaswal — Co-Founder
As Vice President – Regulatory Affairs (Petchem) at Reliance Industries Limited, I focus on transforming regulatory compliance from a routine obligation into a source of strategic advantage. My approach centers on proactively identifying regulatory trends—both in India and globally—and advocating for forward-looking changes that help the business navigate emerging risks and opportunities. With 20+ years spanning corporate affairs, trade law, chemical safety and competition compliance, I specialize in connecting policy frameworks with business priorities. Instead of simply “complying,” I work to integrate regulatory insights and advocacy into risk management and long-term planning—creating value for the enterprise while helping to shape the evolving landscape. Outside the corporate sphere, I co-founded the Bharat Bhagya Vidhata Forum (BBVForum), using policy advocacy and technology awareness as public tools to address broader societal issues. Our mission is to encourage adoption of best practices and efficient resource utilization at scale, harnessing collective expertise and raising awareness for positive, technology-driven change. BBVForum had made several public policy recommendations at G20@2022-23 I am deeply passionate about advocating for technologies and systems that promote environmental sustainability and improve quality of life, including clean energy, climate change, digital ecosystems, SDGs, Digital Public Infra (DPI) and entrepreneurship.
