Saakshar Duggal represents a rare blend of legal expertise, technological foresight, and powerful storytelling. As an AI law expert, cyber law professional, and 17-time TEDx speaker, he has built a unique identity at the intersection of law, technology, and communication. What makes his journey stand out is not just his domain knowledge, but his mission to simplify complex topics like AI, cybercrime, and digital ethics for global audiences—making them accessible, actionable, and relevant.

In this episode of The Koffee Conversation Show, Saakshar shares an energetic and deeply insightful perspective on AI law, cybercrime, public speaking, mentorship, and personal growth. His voice reflects both realism and ambition—he openly discusses the non-glamorous side of emerging fields like AI law, where constant learning, uncertainty, and adaptation are the norm. His journey is a reminder that true expertise is not static—it is built through continuous evolution.

Saakshar’s career journey began with uncertainty—initially not inclined towards law, he was drawn more towards technology but felt limited by traditional academic pathways. However, during the COVID phase, he identified a powerful opportunity: the intersection of law and cyber technology. With the rise of cybercrime, AI misuse, and digital dependency, he realized that this niche was not only relevant but essential. That insight became the foundation of his specialization in cyber law and AI law.

A defining turning point in his journey has been his evolution into a global speaker and mentor. From his first TEDx talk—where he faced stage pressure and learned resilience—to becoming a 17-time TEDx speaker, his growth reflects discipline, audience understanding, and relentless practice. His SCAN methodology for mentoring speakers further highlights his structured approach—focusing on individual strengths and real-world positioning rather than generic speaking techniques.
