We just shipped something our customers have been asking for: dashboards built from a single sentence. Here’s the problem it solves. A GC wants to know which renewals carry the most risk this quarter. Someone exports the data, builds charts in Excel, and sends a report a few days later. By then, the moment has often passed. Now you just type what you need, like a risk matrix for upcoming renewals or a KPI dashboard of contract stages. Codex builds an interactive page in seconds, right inside the platform. You can click through it, refine it in the same thread, and download it as an HTML file when it’s ready. Working with enterprise legal teams for 10 years, I’ve noticed something. When answers take days, people ask fewer questions. When they take seconds, legal starts catching risks before anyone asks. It also means fewer exports, so less sensitive contract data ends up sitting in spreadsheets.

@OkuloAerospace has been named among the winners of the @EricssonIndia Innovation Challenge, organised by @ericsson in partnership with @TiEDelhi and @ianetwork (Indian Angel Network). Out of 800+ applications across India, we made the Top 20 and were chosen as one of just 6 teams to showcase our technology. The nationwide initiative was designed to back 5G-powered technologies tackling critical societal challenges, and we brought one single focus to the stage: rural connectivity. Over 500 million Indians are still offline. Ground-based telecom towers reach about 3.5 to 10 km, the signal weakens at the edges and after the Tripura floods, telecom recovery was delayed by five days. Our answer is a High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (#HAPS): a solar-powered aircraft flying at 20 km to act as an aerial tower. Operating alongside ground and satellite networks, it targets 3,800 km² of direct-to-phone 5G coverage with under 10 ms latency. This builds on flight-proven hardware we have already certified and flown: #SUVI, India's first @DGCAIndia Type Certified solar-electric #UAV and HINET, our military VTOL built under the @SpokespersonMoD, India's iDEX program. Next, we are looking for partners to run a 5G-enabled HAPS pilot in an underserved rural corridor. Telecom operators, public-sector partners and collaborators, write to us at: [email protected].

Congratulating the winners of the C-CAMP National Bio Entrepreneurship Competition #NBEC2026 at the Grand Finale, Guest of Honour, Dr @kiranshaw Executive Chairperson, @Bioconlimited in a deeply inspiring keynote address, remarked - "The future of biology looks very promising as its convergence with digital technology and AI accelerates innovation at a never-before pace. With AI and deep tech unlocking biology’s complexity, we have a good understanding of the science. Now would be the time to leverage this deep science and combine it with great business opportunities." She underlined that to build an economy that matches India's aspirations, entrepreneurs have a responsibility to aim big and not remain shackled by lack of ambition. As biotech entrepreneurs she urged innovators to address both science and the business of science and target scaleup from the beginning to form large companies from India, going beyond the MSME aims of the past. This will allow the country's innovation ecosystem to develop cutting-edge, world-first solutions and not me-too products, she said. She ended by congratulating C-CAMP on the sheer number and scale of innovative ideas brought to the limelight by NBEC year on year. Thank you Dr Shaw for your steadfast support for NBEC over the years! @Taslimarif_IND @PriyankKharge @ITBTGoK @Startup_Kar @Ktech_biotech @DHFWKA @agrigovkar @BIRAC_2012 @DBTIndia @IndiaDST @CSIR_IND @startupindia @meitystartuphub @ANRFIndia @tdbgoi @Bioconlimited @ankurseeds @lorealindia @WINFoundation3 @MahycoGrow @novonesis @AnthemBiopharma @AnthemBio @SyngeneIntl @SocialAlphaIN @IdeaspringCap @AnicutF @EnziaVC @ianetwork #BioAngels @TiEIndiaAngels @TiEGlobal @JavaCapital #IndianHealthcareAngels @isbaindia @KotakAlts @PwC_IN @FollowCII @AurigeneOnco @AurigenePharma @YourStoryCo

@legistify turned 10 this month :) About 12 years ago, when I was at @bitspilaniindia, I took a small exit from a company I was trying to build. The experience was nothing short of humbling when I realised for the first time how difficult it is to build a company especially when you don’t have access to sound legal advice. I decided I would never let any entrepreneur face what I had to & conceived Legistify. After a year of talking to lawyers & founders, I started Legistify in December 2015 with a clear mission - ‘Make Legal Accessible For All’. My journey continued for a year with Pratik Mohapatra joining in late 2016. We both knew that the industry is nascent, slow in adopting tech but is bound for disruption. Back then even the term ‘Legal Tech’ was alien. So for the next 3 years we kept building for the end user, trying to introduce tech in every experiment we ran. During this time, we built a thriving marketplace of 10,000+ legal professionals, helping incorporate 1000+ companies, file 3000+ IPs, help 5000+ homebuyers seek legal remedies under RERA & more. While legal required human touch, we always thought of us as a tech company. Then one day Covid hit. While many had to shut shop, we stayed resilient & true to our vision. With <6M runway, we thought this was our time to do what we had always wanted to. While courts were shut & no legal activity was happening in the country, we started developing LegisTrak (our flagship SAAS offering) on one side & arranging covid day passes for e-comm companies through our lawyer network to keep the company afloat. This was one of the most difficult times we've seen as founders. It was a tough time for us, but we were lucky to be in the company of some of the best team mates & investors and we all survived it together :) Our product started showing early signs of success - from $0 in 2020 to ~$300K ARR by the next year. From this point, the product kept growing & so did we as founders. We built a razor sharp focus towards solving real customer needs & continued working towards our mission of disrupting legal. The first 2 customers we got onboard, became investors in our company & participated in our future funding rounds. In 2022, we got accepted to @ycombinator , it was nothing short of a dream for us. We closed our Series-A1 the very next year with A2 getting concluded in 2024. Cut to today, we’re proud to have 350+ customers across 4 key offerings (Contracts, Litigation, IPR and compliances) in a highly capital efficient manner with some of the leading investors in the space backing us (@IndiaMART , @TitanCapitalVC , @JavaCapital , GSF etc). Over 5 of our ex-employees have gone to found their own companies which is something that I’m personally very proud. We built the first 10 years creating system of records & sensitising a market which did not exist. But what will unfold in the next 10 years, is going to be miraculous, thanks to AI. @DineshAgarwal @rajeshsawhney @legistify @bitspilaniindia @1kunalbahl @rohitkbansal
