Founder of IPTO. Currently rebuilding the licensing layer underneath AI. Earlier: Create Protocol, Neuron Gym, Ojam, Wild Monks. IIT Roorkee. Made everywhere.
building the licensing layer for AIIPTO is the present tense. Create Protocol and Human Data Rights are the long bets. Earlier ventures left the infrastructure today’s work runs on. Full ventures + experience →
Growing IPTO: an AI-native licensing platform so developers and creators access ethical, licensed IP through APIs. Bridging the rights gap in AI and building infrastructure for the next generation of creative technology. See ipto.ai and this hub.
DeAI network accelerating human creativity and intelligence for a post-AGI world: decentralized creative economy infrastructure.
A founder-led initiative exploring practical frameworks for human data rights in the age of AI.

AI didn't break copyright. It revealed that the real-time, machine-readable licensing market never existed.
Every AI lawsuit is a market price discovery in the most expensive way possible: through litigation. The fix isn't tighter copyright; it's an API where rights, terms, and payments resolve per call. That's the bet behind IPTO.
№ 02Privacy law is the wrong layer. Personal data needs the legal grammar of property: ownership, transfer, consent, royalty.
Privacy frameworks try to hide data; property frameworks let people own it, sell it, withdraw it. The latter is what large models actually need to be legal at scale, and it's what humans actually need to be paid.
№ 03When generation is free, the scarce inputs are taste, provenance, and intent.
We've spent twenty years compressing distribution. The next twenty will compress generation. What remains expensive is the bit machines can't fake: judgment about what to make and why. Networks should pay for that signal.
№ 04Composition is design under the deepest constraint a builder can take on: time you can't pause.
Tempo, key, and texture are state. Surprise is the only metric. Releasing music as Abhi Cris is the same instinct as shipping software: finite resources, irreversible commits, an audience that can quit any second.

Fifteen years of building between India, Japan, the Gulf, and the US. The only artifact that ages well is the P&L.

Every track is a tiny operating system. Releasing as Abhi Cris. Electronic, ambient, experimental. Music page →
Audiences quit any second. Design assuming they will.
Rights holder ready to ship a programmatic licensing pilot? AI lab tired of litigating instead of paying? Policy person who actually wants a market? Builder at this intersection? Yes, please.
