A lawyer who understands the art, not just the contract.

I'm a Media & Entertainment Lawyer with a dual degree in Business and Law from Symbiosis Law School, working at the crossroads of creativity, commerce, and strategy.

At Rebellion Management & Entertainment, I work on music licensing, sync deals, and talent contracts — providing the legal framework that empowers artists and brands to thrive in a fast-paced industry.

Previously, as Legal & Business Associate at Azadi Records, I provided end-to-end legal counsel to Seedhe Maut and a diverse roster of artists, helping shape the Indian hip hop scene.

Let's build culture, legally.

Six years of legal practice, across the spectrum of culture.

Education, work experience, & featured projects — a complete record of professional practice.
