Nyayanidhi, a legal technology startup from Bengaluru, has raised two million dollars in seed funding to build what it calls a digital operating system for litigation in India. The round was led by 3one4 Capital with participation from DeVC, PeerCheque, Force Ventures and several angel investors.
The company wants to address a structural problem. India has more than fifty million pending court cases and millions of new filings each year. Despite the eCourts project and other modernisation efforts, much of the work behind these cases still relies on paper files, manual drafting, and fragmented communication.
These bottlenecks slow down justice for individuals and add cost and uncertainty for businesses.
Building a digital backbone for litigation
Founded in twenty twenty four by Adithya L H S, Chakshu Masagali and Pratik Pany, Nyayanidhi is creating a platform that automates repetitive parts of litigation such as document preparation, translation, and filing.
The company’s tools support multilingual documentation and are designed to connect advocates, clients, and courts inside a single workflow. The idea is to move from scattered, manual processes to a more predictable and transparent system where progress is easier to track and delays are easier to spot.
Chief executive Adithya said the goal is to bring speed, predictability, and accountability to legal work by using AI alongside human expertise rather than replacing lawyers.
AI plus human review
Nyayanidhi uses artificial intelligence to draft, translate, and structure legal documents but keeps advocates in the loop for review and final sign off. This hybrid approach aims to balance efficiency with trust and accuracy in a profession where small wording changes can have large consequences.
Early pilots in the High Court of Karnataka and with enterprise clients have already shown measurable improvements. In some cases, the time required to prepare key litigation documents has dropped from weeks to a few days.
By framing its platform as digital infrastructure rather than a simple software tool, Nyayanidhi is positioning itself as a long term partner for courts and law firms looking to modernise without losing control over quality.
Why investors are backing legal tech
The legal sector in India has been slower to adopt technology compared with finance or retail, which leaves a wide gap for specialised tools that can handle the complexity of litigation.
Investors such as 3one4 Capital view Nyayanidhi as a way to unlock productivity in a system where delays are measurable and painful. Faster document preparation and more organised workflows help both enterprises and individual litigants.
The fresh funding will be used to strengthen the AI infrastructure, expand the network of advocates using the platform, and scale operations to more states and courts. The company is also looking to deepen partnerships with government bodies as legal digitisation continues.
A collaborative path to modern justice
Nyayanidhi is pursuing a collaborative strategy rather than a confrontational one. The platform is built to support lawyers, not bypass them. By giving practitioners tools that cut down on repetitive work, the company hopes to make technology adoption feel like an upgrade rather than a threat.
If it can continue to prove time savings and reliability, Nyayanidhi could become a key part of India’s legal infrastructure over the next decade, turning litigation from an opaque, slow moving system into something more transparent, data backed, and predictable.
