Meet your Teacher

Rohas Nagpal is an author, lawyer, and investigator with over 25 years of experience. He has worked across 18 countries on complex cases involving digital forensics, cyber terrorism, financial crime, and corporate liability.

He co-founded Asian School of Cyber Laws in 1999 and has assisted the Government of India in drafting rules under the Information Technology Act.

He authored the Cryptocurrency Investigation & Forensics Manual and the Cyber Crime Investigation Manual, described by The Times of India as the "Bible for cybercrime investigators", and wrote India's first legal commentary on the Information Technology Act.

Rohas first encountered Bitcoin in 2011 during a narcotics investigation, an experience that led to a long-term focus on blockchain, cryptocurrency crime, and financial infrastructure.

He later co-founded BankChain, a blockchain consortium of 37 banks, designed a Layer-1 protocol for regulated finance, and served as a consultant to the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub on NFTs & CBDCs.
