About Piyush

He brings practical expertise and a proven track record of international advocacy to his role as coach for the UPES Vis Moot team.
Piyush's journey in international dispute resolution is rooted in his own competitive mooting success. He represented HP National Law University, Shimla, at the 30th Willem C.

He has since translated that experience into mentorship, having coached teams from HPNLU Shimla, Nirma University Ahmedabad, MNLU Nagpur, and the University of Lesotho for both the Vis Moot and the FDI Moot.
Academically, Piyush is an alumnus of the 2025 Summer Session of the Paris Arbitration Academy, which he attended on a full AAA-ICDR Diversity Fund Scholarship, completing the General Course on Commercial Arbitration under Prof. Gary Born.
