“A large space here …”: Najil Kahat discovers a golden mine in the broken legal system in India

Najil Katt provides a case not only for legal reform, but to re -imagine how India deals with justice. In a series of recent visual images on social media, the co-founder of Zerodha and Gruhas highlights a paradox in the Indian judiciary: while it is widely seen as fair, the real gaps do not lie in rulings-but in the arguments.

Kamath refers to data from the JUSTICE report in India 2022 shows that although 79 % of Indians are qualified to obtain free legal assistance, only 1 % have already benefited from it. At the same time, only 20 % have means to independently access legal resources. It claims that this gap is not due to the failure of the system itself but stems from the asymmetric leverage – as the first litigants enjoy access to better resources, more clear research, and more detailed representation.

“The fact that people prefer luxurious claims to legal assistance indicates that the money tends to measure justice,” Kamat notes. “To be fair, it is not a systematic problem. It is related to luxury.” He says this leverage is derived from three columns: better resources, better research, and better clarification.

But there is silver lining and a strong opportunity. Kamath believes that artificial intelligence can help restore balance by closing gaps in access, efficiency and knowledge. In reference to the studies conducted by Oxford Academy and Alvarez & Marsal, it defines the areas in which AI already converts legal services: improving the efficiency of repeated task (87 %), reducing human error (56.5 %), supporting data -based decisions (28.5 %), and expanding access to legal information.

In a follow-up post, Kamath distracts the real promise of technical legal innovation: “With artificial intelligence in this mix, it is not only a speedy solution to solving cases-it is an opportunity to build systems they really understand. A large space here for project owners who receive law and logic.”

In essence, the Kamath argument revolves around changing strength – from a few privileges of many with the capabilities. In this transformation, a great opportunity is in the field of entrepreneurship: to use technology not only to accelerate justice, but to give a democratic character to it.
