About Raghav
Raghav is a third-year BA.LLB (Hons.) student at UPES School of Law, Dehradun, and from early on it has been clear that he is someone who learns best by being in the room.
His competition record across his first two years reflects a consistent appetite for different kinds of advocacy. He reached the semi-finals of the 3rd Novice Mediation Competition, winning the Award for Best Opening Statement and Best Teamwork. He reached the semi-finals of the Internal Mediation Competition, winning Best Teamwork again. He competed as an oralist at the Freshman Induction Moot Court Competition, reached the quarter-finals of the XX Internal Moot Court Competition with a Speaker Rank of 20 out of 310 speakers, and finished 16th out of 90 teams at the Intra Negotiation Competition. Across mediation, negotiation, and moot court, he has not stayed in one format — he has tried all of them, and he has placed in most of them.
Outside of competitions, Raghav reads widely on legal, social, and current affairs, follows debates closely, and has been deliberate about building his public speaking from the ground up. The Vis Moot is the largest and most demanding stage he has stepped onto yet. He is here because he has spent two years figuring out what serious preparation looks like, and he is ready to apply it to something bigger.
