An operating system for Indian litigation
We have been building for Indian lawyers since 2020, because the tools they were handed were never built for the way Indian courts actually work.
Built from the problem, not the product
We have been building for Indian lawyers since 2020, and it started with an observation anyone in practice will recognise: advocates here spend an extraordinary amount of time on work that isn't law. Copying hearing dates from a peshkar's list into a diary, then onto WhatsApp. Hunting through folders for an order before a client call. None of it is legal work, and all of it is unavoidable without better tools.
The software that existed didn't help. International practice management tools assume US or UK procedure and have no concept of a CNR number, a cause list, or a district court hierarchy. The Indian alternatives were built a decade ago and largely abandoned since. Most firms ended up on spreadsheets by default.
So we built for the Indian system first, and for the whole of it: every jurisdiction and the procedure it follows, cause lists polled overnight and waiting in your agenda, research against our own corpus of Indian judgments, drafting that produces filings structured the way a court expects to receive them, and twelve Indian languages throughout. Cases come in by CNR and stay in sync on their own.
Lexshastra is used today by independent advocates, litigation firms, and in-house legal teams across India. It is built by a small team in India, and every feature in it exists because someone in practice told us what was getting in their way.

The principles behind the product
Four commitments that decide what we build and what we refuse to.
Built for Indian procedure
CNR numbers, cause lists, district and High Court hierarchies, tribunal benches. We build to the system as it is, not to a generic model of litigation with India bolted on afterwards.
The practitioner decides
Our AI drafts, summarises, and researches. It never files, never sends, and never edits your work without you. Every output is a draft for an advocate to review and own.
Confidentiality is not a feature
Case data sits on encrypted infrastructure in India under role-based access you control. We do not sell it, mine it, or share it. It is privileged material and we treat it that way.
Work in your own language
The platform runs in twelve Indian languages alongside English, so your team can work in the language it actually uses.
A small team, close to the work
Lexshastra is built in India by engineers who work alongside practising advocates. We sit in on court days, watch how matters actually move through a chamber, and ship against what we see rather than what we assume. The roadmap is shaped by the firms using the platform, and we answer support ourselves.
Shyam Sunder
Founder
Started Lexshastra in 2020, during a college internship, after seeing how much of legal practice still ran the traditional way while the technology to change it was already available and had barely touched the profession. Built the first version while still studying and has rebuilt it in many forms since. The company was incorporated in Pune in 2025.
