I think one of the other interesting companies in LegalTech is jhana.ai that is building paralegals/assistants for lawyers. I think another category of companies that can be added is RegTech companies that are automating compliance for purposes such as Anti-Money Laundering(AML), KYC and Fraud Detection and Prevention. Some interesting companies to add in this category are BiFiSc and InsightAI.

Harshith – thanks for the sharp suggestions and for reading closely!

jhana.ai is exactly the kind of deeply Indic, moat-heavy play that is exciting in LegalTech. Building a 15M+ document corpus of Indian judgments/statutes to systematically attack hallucinations is a classic sovereign data advantage - something global models still struggle with here.

They were on the radar but didn't quite make the final cut (tight criteria on funding velocity + adoption signals); definitely a strong contender alongside Lexlegis, SpotDraft, and Lucio. Watching their paralegal traction closely.

Fully agree on carving out RegTech - the regulatory tailwinds (RBI's AML/KYC push + exploding digital lending) make this a distinct high-margin pool separate from broader fintech. BeFiSc's document intelligence for fraud-proofing and InsightAI's early-detection engine are textbook AI-native approaches that could scale fast as compliance becomes non-negotiable opex. I folded some of this into the Fintech vertical, but you're right: it probably deserves standalone treatment in v2 of the list.

Any other RegTech (or LegalTech) names you're tracking with early customer wins?

Always hunting better signals. Appreciate the input - keeps the list alive!

I think one of the other interesting companies building in RegTech is Leegality. They've launched a new product called "Consentin" that allows enterprises to manage end-to-end DPDP compliance. With the growth of AI companies data governance is becoming crucial and thus DPDP compliance presents an interesting opportunity.

In LegalTech I would go on to add to ODR startups as well such as PreSolv360 and JustAct. These startups bring the ADR process online by leveraging technology. In India, going to court to resolve a dispute takes 1,445 while ODR takes 45-90 days, especially in the case of small value vanilla disputes. In my opinion, the value in ODR startups lies not in resolving disputes but in the data they collect. This data can be classified on the basis of sector, type of dispute and various categories to build an algorithm that could be used to pre-emptively estimate settlement numbers reducing time by an even larger margin.
