🇮🇳 Vision — LexAI India

45 crore Indians have no access to legal help.
A lawyer costs ₹2,000–10,000 per hour.
Most citizens don't know their basic rights.

LexAI is being built to change this.

This model is the first brick of LexAI India —
a free, open-source AI legal assistant for every Indian citizen.
Built for the farmer who doesn't know his land rights.
For the worker whose salary was stolen.
For every citizen who deserves justice.
