I currently run a web3 focused branding, marketing and growth studio called Brain Storm. We work across verticals with a focus on helping projects Go-To-Market, highlight their key differentiators, grow their social media presence through multimedia content.I have previously worked as Technology Lawyer at Nishith Desai Associates in their TMT team. I also worked with the Ecosystem and Growth team at Hashed Emergent, a web3 venture capital firm investing in emerging markets and emerging market founders- especially Indian founders. I have worked across the firm's verticals- from legal and policy research to ecosystem growth and also driving the firm's overall content strategy from scratch. I have previously worked at Poko Technologies as a Legal Product Associate where we were designing a legal wrapper solution for Decentralised Autonomous Organisations. My role required studying regulations, legal frameworks and contracts in order to implement those nuances into our tech product. I have also worked as a Research Associate with Blockchain Founders Group, a venture capital and company builder based in Liechtenstein, where we helped support, build and grow startups across business, legal, operational and IT verticals. I am also the founder of India's first techno-legal blockchain focused blog called "Blawockchain", through which we cover the legal nuances of the blockchain world. In a nutshell, I am a growth minded individual striving to constantly seek new experiences and to push myself to greater heights mentally, physically and spiritually. I love talking to and meeting new people and learning more about their unique perspectives.Always down to grab a cup of coffee!
