We do what we can with what we have been given. Keep good people around you and spend time listening to their words.

Having qualified and practised as an international lawyer, he has developed a strong understanding of the complexities of cross-border business and how to balance global opportunities with local success. Over the years, Rishi has worked with several prominent domain organisations, including leading the gTLD initiative at Melbourne IT DBS over a decade ago. He later joined CentralNic, where he contributed to its growth from a small operation into a global enterprise, taking on various leadership roles across its Group companies. As an investor in Sokomi, Rishi brings his extensive experience and thoughtful approach to help the company grow and make a positive impact in the domain and DNS industry.

Cross-functional by design

Our team structure pairs engineering depth with advisory breadth. DNS architects work alongside governance experts, and brand protection specialists collaborate with strategic communicators. This is not siloed consulting, it is integrated delivery.

Trust as an operating principle

We share knowledge openly, default to transparency with clients and build relationships that outlast individual projects. Trust is not a value statement, it is how we operate every day, internally and externally.

Service excellence through specialisation

Every team member brings deep expertise in their domain. When specialists collaborate with shared purpose, the result is solutions that are technically rigorous, strategically sound and operationally practical.

AI at Sokomi

We utilise AI in everything we do

Artificial intelligence is not a future ambition at Sokomi, it is an operational reality embedded across our entire business. From automated threat detection in our DNS Healthcard to AI-assisted research in our advisory practice, we sit at the edge of future development and optimisation.

Learn How We Use AI

AI-powered diagnostics

Our DNS Healthcard leverages machine learning to identify configuration anomalies, predict vulnerability patterns and prioritise remediation across 80+ automated checks.

Intelligent brand monitoring

AI-driven scanning identifies brand impersonation, phishing sites and trademark infringements at a speed and scale that manual review cannot match.

AI-assisted research and advisory

From policy analysis to market intelligence and competitive benchmarking, AI accelerates our research capabilities, enabling faster and more comprehensive advisory outputs.

Operational automation

AI streamlines internal processes from compliance reporting and document generation to infrastructure monitoring and client communications, freeing our specialists to focus on high-value work.

Continuous learning and optimisation

Our AI systems continuously learn from new data and feedback loops, improving accuracy, efficiency and insight quality with every cycle of analysis and delivery.

“An inclusive, diverse and family-centric culture reflects in the relationships we build with our customers and partners. When specialists collaborate with shared purpose, the result speaks for itself.”
