As the Founder and CEO of Legal Sync, Ankit is scripting a novel legacy, profoundly inspired by his father, a diligent agriculturist, and his mother, a devoted homemaker. Ankit was imbued with traditional values that were the bedrock of his upbringing. Despite his family's lack of legal antecedents, his resolve to enter the legal domain was ignited by a vision of effectuating substantive change within society. As Ankit himself says, “One’s origin should never fetter their ambition; rather, it should fuel their journey toward uncharted realms of success.”
His challenges illuminated the conspicuous gaps in support and resources available to his peers, prompting him to devise remedial measures. Recognizing that an overwhelming number of law students encountered similar quandaries, he was impelled to conceptualize Legal Sync—a platform meticulously designed to shepherd and support law students throughout their academic and professional sojourns. “In every adversity,” he reflects, “lies the germination of innovation and the dawn of transformative opportunities.”
Legal Sync was born from his experiences as a final-year LL.B. student. Noticing a lack of guidance in legal internships and activities like moot courts, Ankit, alongside his classmate Shalini, created a platform to bridge this gap. Legal Sync now serves law students, academics, advocates, and scholars, offering essential mentorship and resources.
The journey to launching Legal Sync was challenging. Ankit and Shalini faced uncertainty and obstacles but turned these into stepping stones. Today, Legal Sync provides internships, legal research, drafting support, event promotions, and paralegal outsourcing. It stands out by focusing on practical court experience and extending its reach to Tier-2 cities, ensuring equal opportunities for all. As Ankit notes, “True progress lies in uplifting each person’s potential, no matter where they are.”
Legal Sync’s impact on law students is its greatest achievement. The platform has organized national seminars, workshops, and competitions, earning praise from participants nationwide. This feedback underscores Legal Sync’s role in bridging the gap between academic goals and professional growth. Since its inception, Legal Sync has evolved from a simple idea into a robust platform meeting the diverse needs of the legal community. Initially focused on students, it has expanded to include advocates and academic institutions, ensuring access to resources in Tier-2 cities as well.
The platform intends to augment its offerings with more specialized internship programs, advanced training modules, and avant-garde tools for legal research and drafting.
Ankit’s counsel to aspiring entrepreneurs is to surmount the trepidations and take that inaugural step, no matter how insurmountable the challenges may appear. He emphasizes the quintessential importance of remaining focused on one’s objectives and perceiving obstacles as conduits for personal and professional growth. “Commence your journey,” he advises, “and you will discover that what once appeared as insurmountable obstacles are, in fact, mere stepping stones toward your ultimate triumph.”
