I work at the intersection of law, technology and society, and study the impact of digital technologies on socio-political processes and structures. My research aims to further the discourse on regulatory practices around internet, technology, and society. I am currently a Senior Fellow-Trustworthy AI at Mozilla Foundation studying models for algorithmic transparency, and the Director of Research at Pollicy.

Untill June 2022, I was the Executive Director of the Centre for Internet and Society, India (CIS). I led programmes at CIS on civil liberties research, including privacy, identity, AI, cybersecurity and free speech. I was instrumental in setting up a communications team at CIS and revamping its outreach and dissemination strategy and efforts.

My research has been cited with appreciation by the Supreme Court of India and several government committees. I am a member of the Steering Committee of ABOUT ML, an initiative to bring diverse perspectives to develop, test, and implement machine learning system documentation practices. I also serve on the GPA Reference Panel of Global Privacy Assembly. My first book, The Networked Public, was released in 2019. I studied law and humanities at National Law School of India University, Bangalore.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, cleaning and birding.
