What I'm looking for

I seek a role in anti-piracy/brand protection with opportunities to lead investigations, mentor teams, and drive enforcement actions in a growth-oriented organization.

I am an anti-piracy specialist and team leader with extensive experience in investigations, OSINT technical analysis, evidence automation, and technical reporting. I have worked across live sports events, IPTV services, web and social platforms to detect and remove pirated content.

In roles with Opsec Security, IPLOCKER, the Motion Picture Association of America (contract), Agravision India Pvt Ltd and IPLEXSOFTWARE Pvt Ltd, I monitored platforms, purchased and analyzed illegal IPTV services, captured forensic evidence, and drafted timely takedown and DMCA notices.

I have led and managed teams (including a team of 4 anti-piracy executives), organized weekly touch bases to ensure timely completion of assignments, and delivered forensic investigative reports and analyses that guided enforcement actions.

I am results oriented, accustomed to high-pressure live-event monitoring (including major football and cricket events), and seek a fulfilling position in anti-piracy and brand protection where I can apply my leadership, technical investigation skills, and content protection expertise.
