Sriya Sridhar — Associate Consultant
I'm a legal and policy researcher and (aspiring) academic, with a focus on technology policy and regulation. I've typically donned multiple hats at a time, with my work experience spanning academia, teaching, legal practice, and policy. I hold an LLM (Master of Laws) in Innovation, Technology and the Law (with Distinction) from the University of Edinburgh. I'm also affiliated with The Pranava Institute, a New Delhi-based think tank focused on technology, policy, and society. I have experience advising both government and private sector entities in India on the regulation of emerging technologies. My current research focuses on AI regulation, data protection, and privacy law, with a particular interest in human-AI interaction in emotionally responsive and human-mimicking systems used in entertainment, companionship, and therapeutic contexts. I've worked extensively on technology and regulatory design in the Indian and global context, and am passionate about youth digital well-being. I'm interested in blending the law, STS, digital humanities and philosophy through my research.
