Note From The Founder

The legal dimensions of technology are no longer peripheral—they are central to how modern enterprises operate, scale, and comply. Over the course of my career, I have been closely involved in advising on complex issues arising at the intersection of law, technology, and business systems. This includes working extensively on technology licensing, cloud infrastructure agreements, cross-border data processing, algorithmic accountability, and sector-specific compliance under evolving regulatory frameworks.

The establishment of Arthashastra Legal stems from a commitment to building a practice that engages with the realities of digital transformation while remaining anchored in legal precision. The name ‘Arthashastra’ reflects an approach rooted in structure, foresight, and contextual intelligence—values drawn from one of the earliest treatises on governance and administration.

Our work engages with legal challenges that are often technical in nature—ranging from structuring of SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS agreements, to advising on the obligations of data fiduciaries, intermediaries, and AI-driven service providers. The practice also supports clients in designing governance systems for data protection, drafting end-user and enterprise-level licensing frameworks, and ensuring contractual integrity across multi-jurisdictional operations.

Having previously led the Technology & General Corporate practice at a leading national firm(s) and advised clients across sectors, we have understood the need to value not only clarity in legal drafting but also an ability to think in systems—to understand how legal design interacts with business architecture.

Our emphasis remains on thoughtful engagement with emerging areas of law, backed by industry understanding, regulatory insight, and legal craftsmanship. The intent is to contribute meaningfully to the way law is applied in fast-evolving domains while maintaining fidelity to first principles.

Warm regards,

Gaurav Sahay
