About VidhiSar
VidhiSar is an AI legal and compliance co-pilot built for Indian small and medium businesses. It answers business-law questions grounded in Indian statute, drafts execution-ready legal documents, scans contracts for risk, tracks statutory deadlines with their rupee exposure, and hands off to a verified advocate when a matter needs a real lawyer.

I spent the early part of my career inside small startups in India — the kind with nine people, one spreadsheet holding the whole business together, and a founder doing three jobs. I was not the compliance person at any of them. Nobody was. That is the point. At the first one, an ROC filing went in late because the person who used to do it had left and nobody noticed the date. ₹100 a day, per form, with no upper limit under section 403 — and two forms were late, so it ran at ₹200 a day while everyone assumed somebody else was handling it. By the time it surfaced we were most of a lakh in, on a thing that would have taken an afternoon. At another, a client sat on our invoice for five months. We were a registered micro enterprise, which meant section 16 of the MSMED Act gave us compound interest at three times the RBI bank rate from day forty-six, whatever the purchase order said. Nobody in the room knew that. We wrote the money off as the cost of keeping a big customer happy. We were entitled to it, and we did not send the notice because we did not know there was one to send. Then the same shape again, twice more — a POSH committee nobody had constituted at a company well past ten employees, a set of vendor contracts with unlimited liability that everyone had signed because a lawyer costs money and the deal was closing on Friday. Different companies, different years, one pattern: the rules were knowable, nobody knew them, and everybody was being sensible. That is the part that stayed with me. Not one of those was carelessness. Hiring somebody to prevent a ₹100-a-day fine costs more than the fine — right up until the day it doesn't, and by then you are months in and the number has stopped being small. A retainer you cannot justify in month one is a retainer you do not take in month one. Everyone involved did the rational thing with the options in front of them, and the options were the problem. So I wanted to change the options, not the people. The routine eighty per cent of this work — which deadline, which form, what it costs per day, what the clause should say — is what software should have taken off a professional's desk years ago. The rest genuinely needs a person, and pretending otherwise is how legal tech gets somebody into trouble. VidhiSar does the routine part, prices what you are exposed to in rupees instead of in warnings, and hands you to somebody qualified for everything else. Every document it prints says on its face that it is a draft and needs review, because that is true. It answers in Hindi, English or Hinglish, and it names the section it is relying on so you can check it. That last part matters to me more than anything else here. Software that asks you to trust it on the law is just a more expensive way to be uncertain — and the businesses I am building this for have already paid for enough of that.
VidhiSar is a software product, operated at vidhisar.in, that Indian small and medium businesses use to handle their own legal and compliance work. It is a technology company — not a law firm, not a law school, and not a legal-education or moot-court programme.

VidhiSar makes the routine 80% of legal and compliance work self-serve. Every generated document states on its face that it is an AI-assisted draft requiring review by a qualified professional before execution, and every compliance answer notes that dates and applicability should be confirmed with a CA. For anything beyond routine, a Bar Council–verified advocate is one click away and receives your full conversation context.
