During last week’s Practice Workshop (PWS) Session, Shreya Kunwar, Associate, led a discussion on whether Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) can serve as IP Collaterals? The session saw an engaging discussion on what are IP collaterals and benefits of using the same in transactions. The discussion delved into how NFTs are increasingly being considered as digital assets and whether the underlying IP in an NFT enables it to be used as a collateral. The session concluded with a debate on the viability of the adoption of NFTs as IP collaterals in the Indian market.

Recently, ALG’s cinephiles came together virtually, to discuss Rob Burnett’s feel-good road trip movie ‘The Fundamentals of Caring’. The members discussed the quirky but lovable characters and their development as well as the cinematic clichés sprinkled throughout the movie. The members also shared their varied thoughts on the personality traits of the characters and how the different characters in the film helped Paul Rudd’s character to find closure. The movie inspired the members to reflect upon the importance of friendship and the key role their friends play in their everyday lives.

One year ago, we decided to introduce a Diversity & Inclusivity (“D&I”) Section in our firm for creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We are happy to share that in the past one year, our D&I Section has conducted various events for celebrating our diversity and starting a dialogue on issues that matter.

To celebrate the Pride Month and the Section’s one year anniversary, we have planned some interesting events and activities intended to encourage a culture of acceptance and celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community.

We are excited to be a small part of this big colourful celebration.
