Remote
Adalat AI is building an end-to-end justice tech stack that automates manual and clerical pain points in courtrooms, giving judges back time to focus on what matters most: decision-making and delivering justice.
Our solutions, including AI-powered transcription in Indian languages, are now deployed across 9 states, covering nearly 30% of India's judiciary.
