From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Ravieshwar Singh, nicknamed Ravi Guru Singh, is an Indian-American[1] attorney, digital fashion designer, actor, and producer. His work has been published in American Banker[2], the New York Law Journal[3], law360[4], Industry Dive,[5] the Huffington Post[1] and InsideHigherEd.[6]

Digital fashion

[edit]

In April 2023, Singh was covered in the Business of Fashion, Elle and Vogue for his activism on how generative artificial intelligence could perpetuate fashion's biases.[7][8][9] He identified that AI could have a positive influence on fashion by improving fashion's standards through enabling more diversity in casting across race and body type.[7] His activism on how AI could repeat harmful biases became part of the Business of Fashion's first case study and playbook for generative AI in fashion, which was made available to thousands of fashion professionals across the United States.[10]

He began his digital fashion work in 2021, when he co-created and sold the first-ever Indian-inspired digital fashion.[11][12][13]

[edit]

Singh was one of the authors of the handbook "Qualified Financial Contracts and Netting Under U.S. Insolvency Laws" published by the law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, which covers safe harbors under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and other major U.S. insolvency regimes. [14][15] He has also contributed to the "Guide to Bank Underwriting, Dealing and Brokerage Activities" on the chapter "Brokerage and Related Activities" which covers the capital markets activities of U.S. and foreign banks and bank holding companies in the U.S.[16][17]

Singh was one of the first lawyers in New York to publish legal analysis on the need for the state to consider legislation recognizing the status of a decentralized autonomous organization ("DAOs").[3]

His views were subsequently cited in further analysis on whether New York legislation on DAOs can enable autonomous organizations to truly remain anonymous.[18]

Selected works

[edit]

Singh led the acting in the full-length feature documentary Terrible Children directed by Shanti Thakur which premiered at the Cleveland International Film Festival[19]. His performance as the lead character resulted in audiences feeling "emotionally attached to him" and seen as the "true star" of the documentary according to The Daily Texan.[20]

He participated as a guest voice performer for iHeartRadio "Partition Podcast Series", reading from Midnight's Furies: The Deadly Legacy of India's Partition by Nisid Hajari.[21][22]

He has produced, written, and acted in short films which have been recognized by the nation's leading episodic film festivals, as covered by TV Guide.[23]

He also was on season one of Netflix's Indian Matchmaking which he wrote about for the Huffington Post.
