Empowering startups through IP expertise.
Our Mission
Accessible, Affordable, Actionable IP for Every Indian Startup
We aim to empower Indian founders to protect their innovations, without legal overwhelm or financial friction.
We’re here to change the fact that only 2% of startups in India file patents – by making the process simple, trusted, and backed by the Govt.
Our Vision
Make India the Global Leader in Startup Innovation by 2028
We aim to enable 10,000+ IP filings from Indian startups by 2028 through education, access, and government partnership.
By removing IP friction, we help innovators move faster – from dorm rooms to boardrooms.
Our Values
Integrity First
Affordable IP for All
Committed to transparency and trust in every interaction with our clients.
Meet the Founder:
Dhananjay Modgalya
IP Attorney | IIT Bombay | Oxford University
National IP Evangelist. Startup mentor. Policy advocate.
Dhananjay has spent the last 16+ years building IP solutions for Indian entrepreneurs.
As the creator of multiple government-backed initiatives, he believes IP shouldn’t be locked behind legal jargon or sky-high costs – but made available to every Indian founder with a bold idea.
“Intellectual Property (IP) isn’t paperwork – it’s power. Founders just need the right ally to unlock it.”
“We’re not just filing IP. We’re building a future where innovation is protected at its roots.”
