In a world where technology evolves faster than legislation can keep up, lawyers who understand both creativity and code are shaping the future of global policy. Riddhi Tulshian, Senior Associate at AZB & Partners, stands at this intersection — bringing together intellectual property, data privacy, media law, and tech regulation with rare clarity and global perspective. With an LL.M. in IP & Policy from the University of Washington, she carries insights straight from the heart of Seattle’s tech ecosystem into India’s rapidly evolving legal landscape.

Appearing on this Ganesh Chaturthi Special of the Emerging Lawyer Series @ Koffee Conversation, Riddhi brings a dynamic mix of precision, authenticity, and forward-thinking vision. From OTT licensing to AI copyright to global privacy frameworks, her voice reflects the mindset of a next-gen lawyer who not only interprets the law, but anticipates the future.

Riddhi’s legal journey began early — she always knew she wanted to be a lawyer. Choosing NMIMS in Mumbai became her first turning point, placing her in the center of India’s media and corporate law landscape. Internships with top media & TMT law firms shaped her early identity as a lawyer who thrives where creativity meets contracts. Another milestone arrived when she joined TMT Law Practice, working on cutting-edge entertainment, licensing, and negotiation matters.

Her global perspective took shape in Seattle during her LL.M., where she learned directly from legal counsels at Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, and major tech giants. Returning to India, she pivoted into technology, data privacy, and advanced IP work at AZB, where she now handles high-stakes deals and emerging tech mandates. Today, Riddhi stands as one of the rising voices in IP-Tech-Data law — blending global exposure with grounded legal intelligence.

Key Highlights of the Koffee Conversation with Riddhi Tulshian:

  • AI-copyright disputes are her favorite because the law is still being written in real time.
  • Sees AI training, authorship, and liability as the next big battlegrounds in IP law.
  • OTT and media licensing challenges now revolve around AI-generated content and evolving copyright frameworks.
  • Biggest myth she corrects: companies assuming data privacy laws don’t apply to them.
  • Identifies compliance burden on MSMEs as an under-discussed tech-law challenge in India.
  • Drafts SaaS agreements by simplifying language, strengthening termination rights, and tailoring for startups.
  • Chose University of Washington for its West Coast tech ecosystem and industry-practitioner faculty.
  • Stays updated through daily legal reading, LinkedIn research time, and global regulation tracking.
  • Views AI tools as accelerators, not replacements — great for starting points, not final answers.
  • Recommends legal blogs, big-law newsletters, WIPO resources, and IP communities for young lawyers.
  • WIPO Summer School was a career-defining experience in global IP exposure and negotiation.
  • Message to women in tech-law: speak up even when you’re unsure — confidence builds expertise.
  • Grounding ritual: nightly calls with her parents, reading, and digital detox.
  • Passionate about swimming, badminton, books, and occasional attempts at pickleball.
  • Describes herself in one line: “A passionate person who pours effort into everything she commits to.”
