International arbitration lawyer.
Policy-informed. Research-driven.
I came to international arbitration through a deep interest in how international law constrains and enables state conduct — particularly in disputes involving natural resources, infrastructure, and regulatory change.
My work spans private practice, policy research, and academic publication — giving me a three-dimensional view of investor-state disputes that I have built deliberately over the course of a decade.
I began as an associate at S&A Law Offices in New Delhi, advising on disputes valued at USD 36 million and above in infrastructure and mining sectors, primarily against state entities. That experience — drafting statements of claim, cross-examination questions, and argument notes in live proceedings — gave me the technical foundation on which everything since has been built.
In 2025, I was appointed as an IFD Fellow at IISD Geneva, where I analysed over 60 stakeholder submissions and drafted policy briefs on investment treaty design, state consent, and dispute prevention — giving me a policy-maker's perspective to complement my practice experience. From that fellowship emerged two published policy reports and a case note in IISD Investment Treaty News on Qatar Pharma et al. v. Saudi Arabia.
I am currently in London, interning at Three Crowns LLP. I am actively seeking full-time roles in international arbitration, dispute resolution, and/or international environmental policy.
My interest in international environmental law predates my formal practice career. I was conducting environmental policy research and engaging with multilateral governance frameworks from my second year of law school — through CEERA at NLSIU, the Stetson Environmental Moot Court Competition, and coursework at NYU with Professor Robert Howse.
I speak English, Hindi, and Marathi. I am committed to investing in the next generation of lawyers: I have coached five moot court teams, mentored six students, and spent five years leading the careers institution at my law school.
