Nyayanidhi: India’s Vertical GenAI Stack Transforming Litigation & Judicial Workflows

Bengaluru Startup Aims to Transform Indian Litigation With a Vertical GenAI Stack and Human Advocate Collaboration. India’s legal system is one of the largest and most overburdened in the world. With millions of pending cases, complex procedural layers and workflows that depend on manual drafting, contextual transfer and endless documentation. Into this environment steps Nyayanidhi, a Bengaluru-based legaltech startup building what it calls India’s first Litigation Operating Intelligence platform.

The company has now raised $2 million in seed funding, led by 3one4 Capital, with participation from peercheque, Force Ventures LLP, DeVC and respected angel investors including Nishchay Ag. The fresh capital marks a significant moment for India’s emerging “vertical GenAI” landscape startups building domain-specific AI stacks tailored for highly regulated, high-context industries.

Nyayanidhi’s mission is ambitious: compress weeks of litigation work into minutes, map business context from day zero and equip enterprises and legal teams with an AI-driven system that anticipates vulnerabilities, prepares filings and supports advocates with human-in-the-loop precision.

A Landmark Seed Round in India’s LegalTech Space

While India has seen an explosion of AI startups in the last two years, few have attempted to build a full-stack, vertically integrated AI system for litigation which is one of the most complex, sensitive and risk-intensive domains.

The company’s $2M seed round marks one of the more noteworthy early-stage raises in India’s legaltech space in 2025. For lead investor 3one4 Capital, the opportunity lies in the shift from manual, reactive legal workflows to a proactive infrastructure powered by domain-specific models, context engines and advocate-augmented outputs.

Early customers include enterprises handling large volumes of disputes; Nyayanidhi says demand has accelerated because litigation today is “reactionary”, requiring business teams to spend days simply transferring case context before arguments and filings can begin. The platform promises to reverse this dynamic.

From a Printer-Shop Inside Karnataka High Court to a National Vision

Nyayanidhi’s founding story is not the typical startup narrative. As the founder Adithya LHS shared in a linkedin post, the idea for Nyayanidhi was not born in an office or a whiteboard session, but inside the High Court of Karnataka, where the team set up a modest printer shop between courtrooms. Their goal was to prove that AI could handle real casework under real pressure, not hypothetical prototypes.

“While others shipped demos, we took live case files and delivered litigation work instantly,” Adithya wrote. “Drafting, research, translations and even signing affidavits, taking liability for AI-driven legal work. Livelihoods were at stake in every sentence.”

The earliest version of Nyayanidhi handled sensitive work, including sexual assault case translations, which Adithya personally managed. These moments shaped the company’s philosophy, that legal AI must be human, accountable and battle-tested, not experimental.

This unconventional beginning of one table, one printer,and two founders inside a courtroom helped Nyayanidhi earn the trust of advocates and litigants long before the product reached its current sophistication.

What Nyayanidhi Actually Builds ? Litigation Operating Intelligence

Nyayanidhi describes itself as a Vertical GenAI Stack for Litigation and Judicial Systems in India. Unlike generic AI tools, its platform is designed specifically for litigation-heavy enterprises, advocate networks, dispute resolution workflows and Multi-lingual, high-context case documentation. Its proprietary system combines:

• AI Drafting & Research: Compressing hours of legal research and drafting into minutes while ensuring the output aligns with business context and legal precedent.
• Context Mapping at Stage Zero: Nyayanidhi automatically maps business context before any work begins, meaning arguments, risk assessments and drafts are aligned from day one.
• AI + Human-in-the-Loop: Specialist advocates review and finalize outputs within hours enabling speed without sacrificing legal defensibility.
• Vertical GenAI Built for India: The system processes Indian case law, regional languages, court filing formats, procedural rules and multi-forum requirements.

Nyayanidhi’s focus is not on replacing lawyers, but on building operational intelligence for litigation, similar to how ERP platforms transformed enterprise workflows.

Why Does India Need a Litigation Operating Layer ?

India faces a population-scale justice bottleneck. Court pendency numbers stretch into the tens of millions. Cases often take years, sometimes decades, before resolution. Common pain points include massive documentation workloads, fragmented context transfer between departments & counsels, reactive litigation strategy, limited data visibility for enterprise legal teams and No real-time risk assessment or early-warning tools.

Nyayanidhi tackles these systemic challenges by offering a platform where:

• Case context is preserved across the lifecycle
• Drafts are produced in minutes, not weeks
• Risk is measured as engagements evolve
• Advocates gain machine-augmented research and analysis
• Business teams have visibility from the start

It’s an attempt to bring operational rigor and predictive intelligence to litigation, a space that has historically resisted software-driven transformation.

Business Model and Expansion Strategy

Nyayanidhi operates as a full-stack services platform, not a standalone SaaS tool. Its infrastructure combines proprietary GenAI models, data governance layers, advocate partnerships, real-time workflows and enterprise integrations.

The $2M seed round will support Deeper AI development, expansion across states and jurisdictions, new enterprise editions, governance + compliance enhancements and scaling specialist advocate networks.

With India’s judicial digitization accelerating, Nyayanidhi is positioning itself as the operating system for enterprise litigation in the coming decade.

How Nyayanidhi Could Shape India’s Legal Future ?

Nyayanidhi’s vision goes beyond automation. The founders see the company as building the “rails” for India’s litigation ecosystem: one district, one court, one case at a time. And with the new seed funding, Nyayanidhi aims to expand its vertical GenAI stack to more courts & jurisdictions, build multi-market + multi-language capabilities, Strengthen institutional partnerships, Improve: accuracy, context retention & defensibility and create a continuous litigation intelligence layer for enterprises.

If successful, Nyayanidhi could reshape how legal work is initiated, executed and managed in India. Shifting the system from reactive to predictive, from manual to machine-augmented and from fragmented to operationally intelligent.

In a country where overburdened courts and overextended legal teams struggle with volume, complexity and context, Nyayanidhi is attempting to build the future infrastructure of litigation.
