I spent the early part of my career writing code at IBM and Amazon. Then I quit to study law - a risk that took me from an LL.M. at NLU Jodhpur to arguing before the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court of India.
Practicing law gave me a front-row seat to everything broken in the justice system. Most of those problems had technical solutions that nobody with the right background was building. So I started building them.
What I'm building now
[Law Firm OS] - an agentic platform for small and mid-size law firms. Client onboarding, case management, legal research, drafting, filing - enterprise capabilities, built for firms that don't have enterprise budgets.
The Legal Social - a community-driven platform that brings the legal fraternity together. Legal portfolio building, marketplace, niche communities, freelancing - all built around AI-integrated capabilities.
Judicial Innovation Forum - tracking systemic problems across the justice ecosystem and routing them as policy and workflow automation to the appropriate authorities.
Nyaymitra - a copilot for every stakeholder in the judiciary. Police, forensic labs, magistrates, court staff, judges - each instance automates the administrative work unique to that role.
E-Nyaya - AI-powered online dispute resolution for arbitration, mediation, and negotiation. For institutional and ad-hoc parties.
The Indian justice system does not need replacing. It needs augmenting - by people who understand both the code and the courtroom. I spent enough time in both to know where the seams are.
