Nemichandra flourished in the 10th century AD. He was popularly known as "Siddhanta-Chakravarti" (i.e. the Paramount Lord of the Philosophy).

He was the spiritual teacher of Chavundaraya and their relation is expressed in the 1530 AD inscription in the enclosure of Padmavati temple, Nagar Taluka, Shimoga district.

At the request of Chavundaraya, Nemichandra wrote Gommatsāra taking the essence of all available works of the great Acharyas. He also supervised the abhisheka (consecration) of the Gommateshwara statue (on 13 March 980 AD). His Dravyasamgraha is a Jain sacred text. He also wrote Trilokasara based on the Tiloya Panatti,Labdhisara, Kshapanasara, Pratishthapatha and Pratishthatilaka.
