In 1999, I co-founded the Asian School of Cyber Laws and moved into the super exciting field of cyber law and cybercrime investigation. I have had the privilege of assisting the Government of India in framing draft rules and regulations under the Information Technology Act. My work has taken me to 18 countries and I have investigated cyber crimes & data breaches for hundreds of organizations. I developed an interest in virtual currencies in 2011 while investigating a case of organized criminals using bitcoin. I have been working extensively in crypto assets & blockchain since 2013. I co-founded BankChain – a community of 37 banks for exploring, building, and implementing blockchain solutions. Product development ————————— I have led the teams that developed: 1. Collaborative Online Investigation Network (COIN), an interactive platform empowering the world’s enforcement agencies to tackle cybercrime & other cases involving digital evidence. 2.
