About Arjun Azad Pk

Trained to be a lawyer, knows a thing or two about technology. Curious about the intersection of these and how it can improve the lives of people. Currently building the Indic Law project, with a goal to address the inequity in access to legal education & information.I enrolled for Law at the Government Law College, Kozhikode after finishing my twelfth and in 2014, attempted CLAT which helped me land at the National University of Advanced Legal Studies, one of the premier Law Schools in India where I did my bachelors. During my university days me along with a few friends launched ‘Your Lawyer Friend’, an organisation involved in strategic litigation and awareness building on students’ rights. In one of the litigations that we spearheaded, the Kerala High Court declared access to internet a fundamental right.Then I joined Azim Premji University in Bangalore for my masters in ‘Law & Development’, but the covid-19 lockdown-induced mental health concerns prevented me from completing it in time.Currently I’m heading The Indic Law Project. In corporate terms, I’m the managing director. My atheist colleague calls me padachon (Means God in Malayalam).I follow Technology, Indian and Kerala politics, Law – Human Rights, Environment, Intellectual Property Rights and Cyber Laws particularly, and Malayalam Literature. I also occasionally write short-stories in Malayalam.
