ABOUT
Clauseo is the AI-native legal company for India.
AI-native law firms have started emerging in the United States and Mexico. None work on Indian law. We have spent a year on the substrate they would need. CCI orders in production, FCRA hosted at fcra.clauseo.chat, statutes and caselaw in flight.
THE TEAM
Who’s building this.
FOUNDER · ENGINEERING
Rohan Shiralkar
Built the research engine Clauseo runs on. Long-running research sessions over a structured Indian legal substrate, written in TypeScript on Anthropic’s Opus model. Started Clauseo after watching his younger brother, a lawyer, lose days to research that the engine now does in minutes.
FOUNDING TEAM · ENGINEERING
Shamil Rasheed
Builds the parts of the system the lawyer never sees: the ingestion pipelines, the database, the search layer. The structural representations behind every CCI order and FCRA section pass through his hands. Quiet and precise. The substrate sits on his work.
FOUNDING TEAM · LEGAL
Harshvardhan Mudgal
The law person on the team. Tells us when an output reads right and when it reads like software pretending to be a lawyer. Leads the search for new sources, runs the conversations with lawyers.
DIGITAL TEAMMATE
Iris
An agent on the team chat with her own GitHub account, her own Gmail, her own Workspace seat. Her job is to push the limits of what an agent embedded in a company can do. We run AI-native ourselves before asking firms to.
ON COST
Sessions bill as disbursements.
Each session bills as a disbursement, not a subscription. ₹150 to ₹1,500 per session (₹150 to ₹700 typical) lands on the same line of the client invoice as a court fee or an expert report. The lawyer’s margin stays intact.
Depth costs what it costs. Subscription companies end up capping it; pay-as-you-go doesn’t have the incentive to. Every session ends with an itemised breakdown so the lawyer sees exactly what the depth bought.
Cost follows from running on the frontier of every layer of the stack. The lawyers who say “₹900 for what would have been a junior’s day, sure, obviously” are the ones we are building for.
The full thinking lives in the master plan. The substrate, the bifurcation, the design partnerships, the eighteen-month plan, all of it.
Clauseo, from the Latin clausula, the closing clause of a judgement.
