Shreya, the Founder and Chief Ecosystem Officer at Indian LegalTech Network. Her mission is to enhance the legal practice; not just for clients but for the practitioners themselves. She also spearheads Prolawgue.com, a platform that bridges the nexus of business, tech, and law. Its mission is to democratize knowledge, empowering the next wave of changemakers and innovators within the legal sector. Having been a practicing lawyer, Shreya is deeply familiar with the intricacies of the legal landscape. Drawing from this experience, she consistently prioritizes lawyers at the heart of innovation, rather than positioning technology as the sole driving force. Recognised amongst ’30 Legal Tech Innovators to Follow in APAC’ and ’30 Women Legal Innovators in Asia to Follow’, Shreya strives to reimagine law through the lens of technology.  In her journey, Shreya has consistently discovered: Lawyers aren’t resistant to technology; they’re in search of impactful innovations tailored to their distinct professional realm.

I am a General Counsel, policy advisor, author and founder working at the intersection of law, emerging technologies and governance.  For over 20 years, I have practised law across jurisdictions, maintaining my legal base in Portugal while operating internationally from the Netherlands. My work extends into AI, quantum technologies, cybersecurity, ethics and public policy, and into the human questions that sit underneath all of them. I bring a 360° perspective to complexity. I connect legal, technological, institutional and human dimensions to help organisations and policymakers anticipate change, navigate uncertainty and translate risk into responsible, strategic action. But I am more than one thing, and I have always worked that way. I am a practising lawyer and General Counsel advising across jurisdictions. A policy voice contributing to European debates as they unfold. A mediator and trainer working with people and organisations navigating conflict and transformation. A board member in quantum development and in European legal and technology organisations. The founder of the Luso-Dutch Chamber of Commerce and Industry. And through executive education, a lecturer and programme director. I founded Humanity of Things Agency to bring this thinking together. I also write. I have contributed to collective books on law, education and women. I write a regular blog and column, and I am launching a podcast. These are not side projects. They are where ideas reach people outside institutional walls. I keep learning deliberately. I hold professional certifications across multiple disciplines and continue adding to them. I create courses and advise universities on their programmes. Teaching is where future decision-makers are formed. Speaking is where systems are questioned in public. Writing is where ideas move beyond closed rooms. Learning is how I remain honest about what I do not yet know. My work is grounded not only in law and technology, but also in history, art and literature. These are not decorative interests. They are how I think. Who are we becoming, and what must we protect? Remaining static has never been an option.
