Big Idea: 
Use AI to speed up justice in Indian courts

The India judicial system is overwhelmed by a backlog of 50 million cases, each taking an average of 12 years to be resolved. Many languish in prisons simply waiting for their cases to start. Bottlenecks in legal transcription and translation are a big part of the problem.

Adalat AI provides AI-powered legal translation and transcription to end judicial delay. Their model is expertly trained in Indian vernacular and legal jargon. It offers near-real-time transcription and translation in multiple regional languages, converting voice to text with ease. With secure encryption in place, Adalat AI ensures that all confidential legal data remains protected. 

Utkarsh Saxena founded Adalat AI and is uniquely suited to lead this solution. He was a law clerk and a practicing lawyer (including litigating India’s recent same sex marriage case.) Before that he was an economist with the World Bank and several governments. He did his PhD at Oxford with a thesis on the judicial backlog.
