He tells you that “Your Aadhaar has been linked to money laundering” or “An arrest warrant has been issued against you”. The caller then tells you to not disconnect the call, not to tell your family or friends

Convertible notes have developed as the go-to funding instrument for pre-series startup capital raising in India, having a place at an interesting nexus of laws – company law, securities law, foreign exchange regulations, and income tax law. These are debt-based instruments which have provisions for converting into equity on the occurrence of some specified events such as qualified funding or maturity, which enable the founders to postpone dilution while providing the investo

In the era of digitalization, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the production, sharing and consumption of digital content and has created real opportunities in areas such as governance, healthcare, education and commerce. The emergence of generative AI technologies has also paved the way for numerous deepfakes, audio-visual media that are artificially created or manipulated to trick recipients into believing that they are authentic.

Place yourself in a scenario where you hand over the process of drafting the Non-Disclosure Agreement to the AI legal platform. Within seconds you will have a highly professional document, replete with all kinds of clauses that you can desire. You take it, sign and forward it. It works like a charm. But there remains an important question hovering over both you and the platform alike: whose creation is this? It should come as no surprise if I say that this is not a moot poin

India is now the third largest startup ecosystem in the world, trailing only the United States and China, with over 3,200 active AI startups as of 2026.

Historically, India’s Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) has been constrained by socio-cu

This article traces the constitutional trajectory of LGBTQ+ rights in India, situating it within the broader doctrinal framework of dignity, privacy, equality, and non-discrimination guaranteed under Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Constitution of India. Beginning with the colonial-era criminalisation of consensual same-sex conduct under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, the article examines the jurisprudential arc from Naz Foundation v. Government of NCT of Delhi (2009) a

The rise of “sharenting” the habitual sharing of children’s photos, videos, and personalinformation by parents on social media poses a profound challenge to privacy, autonomy, andchild rights. It situates the issue in global developments around “kidfluencers”, wageexploitation, and privacy rights with the help of international guidelines, while critically assessing India’s evolving digital data protection regime under the Digital Personal DataProtection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

India's startup ecosystem has grown to the scale of being a concern for insolvency policy, with more than 185,000 startups registered on the Startup India platform by DPIIT. However, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 remains to be an asset-heavy approach to the distress of startups. That mismatch is important because a startup's actual value can be in intangible assets like software, data, intellectual property, network effects, and human capital, which can deteriorate
