Assistant Registrar

  • Product Owner / Analyst - SUVAS for a project team setup by the Supreme Court of India to provide automated language translation through AI. It has reduced the need for appointing around 1000 translators across every Court and provided cost savings of approximately Rs340 crores (approx. £30.22 million). The solution has been defined as a model court for India that will be rolled out nationally.
  • Production Owner / Analyst - "e-Filing" - I managed the design and delivery of "e-Filing" for online filing of petitions / applications. This process is still being developed as there are key challenges such as forged signatures as well as misrepresentation of identities. Once challenges are resolved and we are able to fully implement the software, we would expect to see an 80% reduction in staff.
  • Production Owner / Analyst - "e-Payments" - Calcutta High Courts had a heavy reliance on manual invoicing and cash payments which became difficult to administer during COVID-19. I drove the initiative to automate payments via an online system and engaged business stakeholders, Court officials and State Bank of India and delivered a solution that lowered administrative costs by approximately Rs 1743 crores (approx. £155.13 million). This is now being rolled out nationally.
