While this website is a work in progress, like its subject, there is a diverse realm of work, contribution, commentary, thought and evolving insight that will be circulated to those with an interest to peruse these pages.

This website was formerly attributed to a practice in legal and advisory work for clients. However, it is now the sphere of contemplation of new initiatives to combat conflict without creating additional fora of adversity. Here commentary can address peace, economic and financial equality and well-being, and inspire meditations both written and youtube videos from various authors on decentralizing technology, innovations in the form and substance of ‘value’ and ways in which neither diversification nor globalization are conceived as antithetical or hegemonic terms.

Dr. Kachroo has current executive roles as CEO and founder of the Project for World Peace, and its fintech arm, SPIRSE, which aims to help spread the wealth through social impact funding of MSMEs and SMEs in emerging economies. Increasing economic opportunity to young adults in emerging economies, to alleviate the stresses of a rising young population, will substantially propel social peace and abate conflict and violence in these regions.

Formerly, Dr. Gaytri Kachroo, has longstanding experience in the legal and regulatory space. She has acted as a corporate transactional attorney and partner in Boston law firms, and more recently as a fraud litigator through her former law firm Kachroo Legal Services, PC. (“KLS”). Formerly admitted to practice in Quebec and Massachusetts, she has retired from the practice of law. She has also co-chaired international practice groups and the India practices of law firms in the Boston area and has practiced transactional domestic and international business law, representing companies from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to multi-national corporations (MNCs) in mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing, technology licensing, joint ventures and cross-border issues.

She also built products in the renewable energy and pharmaceuticals spaces. In the latter space, Dr. Kachroo headed a Swiss company with approximately 40 shareholders, for 3.5 years, raising millions in capital, and building an orphan indication vertical for phase 2/3 FDA clinical trials, and managing teams and partnerships over 3 continents. Due to a small band of shareholders, that company did not move forward - stuck in frivolous litigation against Dr. Kachroo for 4 years, which the Federal court finally dismissed and deemed ‘torturous’ on April 18, 2019. The court also noted the alleged plaintiff’s attorneys may have acted without having a client once the company under new leadership decided to file for bankruptcy in 2016.
