The Founder

Dr. Preeti Chothani

Founder & CEO · Registered Indian Patent and Design Agent (IN/PA 3148)

Dr. Chothani founded SDLC to give inventors what large-firm pipelines often can't: a scientist's reading of the invention and an agent's reading of the statute, in the same pair of hands.

A pharmacist by training with a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Technology, she has worked on pharmaceutical and engineering innovations alike — and serves as a Patent Facilitator under the Government of India's Startup and SSIP schemes, helping student innovators and startups access subsidised protection.
