Legal work, from intake to judgment.

Practice management for Indian advocates, firms and courts — with an opening into the public sector that the incumbents are not built for.

01 — The market

Digitisation is being pushed from the bench

The Supreme Court e-Committee, the move to e-filing, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules have made a digital backbone a practical requirement rather than a preference. Indian practice-management software currently starts at roughly ₹1,000 per user per month; international products sell into India at $49–119 per user per month.

02 — Competition

A crowded middle, an empty top end

India-built: Provakil, MyKase, LawSathi, Counsel Crest, Manage My Lawsuits, Zelican. Global: Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, CloudLex, Smokeball. Case management, documents and billing are table stakes; so are ethical walls in the mature products.

What nobody in that list sells is the court itself. The Indian products target advocates and firms; Provakil aims at enterprise in-house teams. Registries and tribunals need on-premise deployment, data residency and procurement documentation — which is a different product motion, not a discount.

Where we are differentiated

Court and public-sector deployment; citation verification that marks each authority verified, mismatched or superseded before a draft is approved.

Where we are not

Matters, hearings, documents, billing, audit and client portals. Everyone has these. They are the cost of entry, not the pitch.

04 — Model

Seat bundles, not per-seat creep

TierSeatsIndia / monthGlobal / month

Courts & public sector50₹1,00,000/-Quoted

Three revenue lines beyond licence: a one-time installation fee covering domain and database provisioning, annual maintenance at 18% of the yearly package from year two, and 18% off for paying a year up front — which pulls cash forward and cuts churn.

To be completed by the founder: the global tier is currently priced at the same numeral as the rupee tier, which places a 10-seat firm at roughly $4,500 per user per month against a market of $49–119. Confirm the intended international price before this deck is shown to an investor — it is the first thing a diligent one will test.

05 — Traction

Where we actually are

The platform is live in production with a working owner console reporting ARR, MRR, net profit and spend across tenants. Commercially, Everra is pre-revenue. One organisation is onboarded — the founding workspace — and it is on trial, not paying.

These figures are deliberately blank rather than estimated: paying firms, pipeline, conversion from trial, CAC, churn, and any letters of intent. Numbers invented here would not survive diligence, and a deck that overstates traction is worse than one that shows a small honest number.

06 — Why this can win

Two defensible edges

The public sector

Courts cannot put case data on third-party cloud. On-premise, data residency and procurement documentation are a barrier to the SaaS-only incumbents, and a long contract once cleared.

Confidentiality as architecture

Ethical walls enforced in the data layer rather than the interface, with refusals that reveal nothing. For a profession where a leak is a disciplinary matter, this is the buying criterion.
