After completing the course and obtaining honors in the subject of Intellectual Prop­erty Rights, he decided to pursue higher studies from WTI as he wanted a holistic integration of the methods of teaching in his homeland and abroad; an avid reader and writer, he wrote several papers throughout law school on various topics such as “homosexuality and the right to privacy” for GLC Policy and Law re­view[the journal of Asia’s oldest law school] and , Jurisprudence of Retrench­ment in India, and the increased role of Germany in EU politics after BREXIT which was published by National Law University Nagpur[Maharashtra’s new­est National law school].

His interest in writing was complimented by the fact that he was the senior content editor of the journal of Intellectual Prop­erty Studies, the flagship journal on IPR by National Law University Jodhpur. He was also the teaching assistant in his col­lege for the year 2019-20 wherein he taught the law of torts and Consumer Protection laws to junior students. On the internship front, he started out with an internship under a senior advocate, then went on to a boutique tax law firm [Jain Globus] and then a tier 1 law firm [Laksh­mikumaran & Sridharan]. He has also in­terned under Hon’ble Justice S.Mridul at the Delhi High court wherein he had the opportunity to learn from one of the lead­ing authorities on criminal law.
