Vision

Chariot IP
From the U.S. to India: Advising Innovation Across Borders

Chariot IP was founded by Pankaj Desai after more than a decade of practicing intellectual property law in the United States — work that spanned patents, trademarks, copyright, and complex advisory matters for technology, life sciences, and brand-driven businesses.
That grounding in one of the world’s most demanding IP jurisdictions now sits at the center of an India-based practice built for a borderless innovation economy. The firm advises inventors, companies, and fellow law firms who need more than a filing service: they need a strategy that holds up in Washington, Mumbai, Riyadh, and the markets in between.
The dual mandate is deliberate. Direct counsel for innovators who want a principal attorney on their matter. Specialized advisory for law firms that require international IP depth without building that bench in-house.
Vision
To make world-class intellectual property protection accessible to Indian innovators and global entities competing on a borderless stage.
Mission
To protect ideas with the same rigor, depth, and strategic foresight applied across major global jurisdictions.
