Ednectar is an Indian edtech platform that closes the persistent gap between doctrinal legal education and real courtroom practice. It delivers immersive, AI-driven simulations of criminal proceedings that replicate procedural realities under Indian criminal law. Through structured, end-to-end workflows, the platform takes users from case registration and investigation to evidence handling and trial advocacy. Each module mirrors the actual cadence of litigation.
Moreover, Ednectar integrates interactive worksheets, rigorous mock trials, and a comprehensive digital law library to reinforce applied reasoning and procedural fluency. By combining simulation with structured reflection, it strengthens analytical judgment and decision-making under realistic constraints. As a result, students and early-stage practitioners build litigation competence well before they enter a courtroom or secure formal internships. In effect, the platform accelerates professional readiness while deepening substantive understanding.
In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World at the India AI Impact Expo 2026, Anjani Singh, CTO of Ednectar, outlines the platform’s solutions for the legal education sector and the systemic challenges they address. He also details the company’s current commercial position and user landscape. Furthermore, he explains the roadmap for product scaling and international market expansion. Finally, he articulates the innovation agenda for the next five years and presents a long-term strategic vision for the coming decade.
The following are the key insights from that conversation.
Q: Can you provide an overview of the solutions Ednectar delivers to the legal education sector, and the core challenges those solutions are designed to address?
A: We identified a fundamental structural gap: most law students graduate without becoming industry-ready. When they enter courts or join law firms as interns, they largely perform clerical tasks, filing documents, drafting routine notes, or assisting with paperwork. However, they rarely gain meaningful exposure to how legal processes unfold in real time. Consequently, they lack a working understanding of procedural dynamics, courtroom strategy, and litigation flow.
To address this deficiency, we built an AI-powered simulation platform that immerses students in the full spectrum of real-world legal processes from the moment they enter law school. Instead of waiting for internships to acquire practical exposure, students engage with structured, scenario-based simulations that replicate procedural realities. As a result, they develop applied legal competence early and often progress faster than many junior practitioners in understanding litigation strategy and process architecture.
We have demonstrated the platform to numerous practicing advocates. Many have responded candidly: had this product existed five years earlier, it would have saved them five years of trial-and-error learning. That feedback reinforces our core thesis. The legal ecosystem remains opaque to most stakeholders, including aspiring lawyers and even non-lawyers who interact with the system. By demystifying legal procedural workflows and institutional behaviour, we bring clarity to a landscape that has long operated behind layers of informal knowledge and delayed exposure.
Q: Is the product commercially live, and what is the current scale of user adoption in terms of registered users?
A: We currently have approximately 3,000 registered users. Of these, more than 1,000 are active users, reflecting sustained engagement rather than passive sign-ups.
At the institutional level, we have initiated strategic outreach to leading law colleges. For instance, we formally pitched our platform to Lloyd Law College, which has since entered into collaboration with us. In parallel, we are in advanced discussions with a National Law University. Additionally, we are engaging with another prominent Noida-based law college.
In total, we have approached three major law institutions. Of these, we have effectively secured two near-term partnerships, while progressing the third toward closure.
Q: Are you positioning the platform primarily for India, or are you architecting it for global scalability?
A: We have designed this legal edtech platform primarily for the Indian legal system. Accordingly, it aligns with Indian statutes, procedural codes, and courtroom practice. However, the architecture is inherently scalable. With calibrated localization, we can extend the platform to other jurisdictions.
In fact, we have already initiated discussions with an institute in Kazakhstan regarding deployment for its law students. While the engagement remains in the pipeline, it signals early international interest and validates the platform’s cross-border applicability.
Q: What key innovations are you planning to introduce over the next five years?
A: We are advancing the product with deliberate momentum. At present, it focuses on criminal law. However, we are actively expanding its scope.
Specifically, we are extending the platform into corporate law and civil litigation. By doing so, we are broadening both its academic relevance and its professional utility. Consequently, the product will evolve from a specialized criminal law simulator into a comprehensive, multi-domain legal training ecosystem.
Q: What are the key strategic priorities and milestones that will define your trajectory over the next decade?
A: Our strategic objective extends beyond legal education institutions. We intend to democratize access to legal process literacy for the general public.
To that end, we have developed a parallel product tailored for ordinary citizens. We plan to present this solution to government authorities for potential institutional adoption. The core premise is straightforward: individuals in villages and rural communities, many of whom cannot draft a formal complaint or navigate police procedures, should still understand their basic legal rights and procedural options.
Accordingly, we have initiated pilot efforts. We are deploying informational kiosks and demonstrating mobile applications in select communities. Through these interventions, we aim to build foundational legal awareness and procedural confidence. Ultimately, our goal is systemic: to ensure that every citizen understands their rights and can exercise them without unnecessary friction or dependency.
