Corporate Legal Workshops & Keynote Speaking
I simplify complex legal frameworks into actionable business strategies. From panels at IIM Bangalore to intensive startup bootcamps, I make the law a tool for your growth, not a barrier.
Speaking at IIM Bangalore on the critical legal strategies for health tech startups. My goal is to equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge to build legally sound companies, covering everything from regulatory compliance and intellectual property to co-founder agreements. This is law made practical, not just theoretical.
At IIM Bangalore, I discussed why Shark Tank, while great for startup culture, doesn't show the full picture of fundraising. I explained alternative instruments like Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (CCDs) and convertible notes, which allow founders to raise capital without immediately giving up equity and control.
Using a Shark Tank India controversy, I explain the serious civil and criminal consequences of copyright infringement. For startups and content creators, understanding how to protect your original work and avoid infringing on others' intellectual property is not optional; it is fundamental to your business.
The troubles at Byju's offer a crucial lesson in corporate law. I break down how unpaid salaries can lead to employees becoming 'operational creditors' under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), giving them the power to initiate insolvency proceedings against a company.
Using the case involving Anil Ambani, I explain the legal tool known as a Lookout Circular (LOC). I detail how investigative agencies use LOCs to prevent individuals facing criminal proceedings from leaving the country and the surprising fact that this is governed by office memorandums, not a specific statute.
Virat Kohli's 40 crore investment in Agilitas is a perfect case study for understanding Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS). I explain how this instrument works, offering investors preferential treatment on dividends and assets while eventually converting to equity, and outline the strict legal compliances companies must follow.
When a court ordered the takedown of YouTube videos by Dhruv Rathee and others about Adani Enterprises, it raised major questions about defamation and free speech. I decode the legal journey of this case, explaining concepts like John Doe orders, ex-parte injunctions, and the three-point test courts use for such orders.
It was an honor to be felicitated at the 'Ayusmat 2025' healthcare leadership conclave at IIM Bangalore. Engaging with the next generation of health tech innovators and sharing legal insights that can help them succeed was a truly rewarding experience.
About Featured
My sessions are not lectures on theory; they are 'Spot the Red Flag' exercises where we dissect real term sheets and operational contracts. Whether we are decoding startup fundraising instruments like CCDs or explaining DPDP Act penalties to your non-legal teams, we focus entirely on the practical application of the law so you can move faster without legal setbacks.
Legal compliance should not feel like an obstacle course. Whether you are a founder navigating fundraising or a corporate team trying to understand current data regulations, my approach replaces legalese with operational clarity.
Why I do this
Many startups fail not because the product is weak, but because the foundation is shaky. I have seen great ideas stall due to poorly structured co-founder agreements or oversight in IP protection. My role is to bridge the gap between legal reality and your business ambition.
My Methodology
- Interactive Workshops: We do not read statutes. We take real-life case studies—from Byju’s insolvency issues to Shark Tank copyright controversies—and dissect how they apply to your specific situation.
- Keynote Sessions: I strip away the academic tone and deliver high-impact, 90-minute talks that keep founders and students engaged, focusing on actionable insights rather than abstract concepts.
- Customized Compliance Training: For non-legal departments like HR, Sales, and Tech, I simplify complex acts like the DPDP Act. This ensures your team understands the 'why' behind the rules, reducing the risk of accidental non-compliance.
Who this is for
These sessions are built for those who value speed and accuracy. If you are a founder looking for a deep dive into convertible notes and valuation caps, or a corporate team needing a reality check on your current compliance status, let’s talk. I travel across India for these engagements, bringing the same clarity to the boardroom that I bring to my content.
