Reminiscing on the journey that led to the inception of the CLIC course, Gupta said,
“I would say CLIC is a continuation… We started the journey in 2017 when we started using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enabled technologies and we kept exploring options for process optimizations. Most of these technologies that the firm was using were foreign technologies which weren’t trained on Indian documents. When we explored the domestic markets, we realized there aren’t many legal-tech solution providers, and even if there were solutions, the gaps in the technologies would lead to their rejection…
…even when we had the intent to subscribe to domestic products, the products were constrained by choice, relevance, and meaningful applicability – that’s when the thinking of Prarambh began as an initiative to revolutionize the legal industry as a whole with domestic talent. In the two cohorts held thus far at Prarambh, we worked with 6 startups in creating 6 different products. Through Prarambh, India’s first legal incubator, we have been at the forefront of enabling legal tech development in India. This has earned Prarambh global acclaim. The CLIC course is our third initiative in this space – legal tech education is not rocket science but will soon be expected to become second nature to all lawyers…With CLIC, we are trying to develop an innovative mindset from the college stage.”
