Our Story

Legal was Broken.
We are fixing it.
One Indian at a Time.

A billion people. A handful of lawyers. And a system designed to be confusing. Three friends decided that wasn't good enough — and built something entirely new.

Where it began

India has 1.4 billion people.
Most of them never meet a lawyer.

Think about that for a moment. A property dispute quietly drains a family's life savings. A first-time startup founder signs a contract he doesn't understand. A widow loses her rightful inheritance — not because she was wronged in court, but because nobody ever wrote a Will. These aren't edge cases. They happen every single day, across every city and village in India.

The law wasn't the problem. Access was. Legal help was expensive by design, opaque by habit, and physically concentrated in the corridors of a few large cities. For the vast majority of India — you figured it out yourself, hoped for the best, and quietly absorbed the cost.

In 2021, that felt simply unacceptable to Malay Mandal — an NIT Rourkela and FMS Delhi graduate who had spent years watching the digital revolution transform every industry except the one that mattered most to ordinary people. He picked up the phone and called Nitin Nijhawan. By the end of that conversation, ezyLegal existed.

Everyone was building the next food delivery app — copying ideas from the West and rebranding them for India. I wanted to build something that mattered. Something uniquely ours. Something that could change how a billion people experience the law.

The founding moment

Two old friends.
One audacious idea.
And a call that changed everything.

Malay and Nitin had been friends long before they were co-founders — the kind of friends who argue about ideas for hours and actually mean it. When Malay shared the vision, Nitin didn't need to be convinced. He just said yes. Nitin moved to the US shortly after, but his fingerprints were all over the product from day one — architecting and running the entire technology platform across time zones, across oceans, without missing a beat.

As the platform gained momentum and the ambition grew, Malay knew he needed a seasoned growth leader on the ground. He called John Bayan — twenty years of hard-earned experience across Tata Steel, Deloitte, Murugappa, and TVS Motors. John had seen the inside of some of India's most demanding boardrooms. He knew exactly what it took to scale. And when he heard what ezyLegal was building, he stopped looking.

The three of them have been at it together ever since.

2021 — The Beginning
Malay and Nitin co-found ezyLegal. A legal consultation platform to connect Indians with verified lawyers at honest prices. Malay builds from India; Nitin builds the tech from the US. Simple idea. Massive market.
2022–2023 — The Evolution
One service pulled the next. Consultations led to document drafting. Documents led to registrations. Registrations to contracts. A full-spectrum legal platform emerged — not by design, but by necessity. John Bayan joins as Co-Founder & CGO to drive B2B growth and scale operations across India.
2024–Present — Scale
15,000+ clients. 4,000+ lawyers. 42+ cities. And a north star that hasn't budged: make India so legally aware that litigation becomes the exception, not the rule.
The Dream
Pre-litigation India. A country so legally empowered, so well-documented, so aware of its rights — that courts sit a little quieter.
The Founders

Meet the three people
who refused to accept the status quo.

Between them: IITs, FMS Delhi, IBM, Tata Steel, Deloitte, and 17+ years building technology that scales. United by one belief — that legal help is a right, not a privilege.

Twenty years inside some of India's most demanding organisations — Tata Steel, Deloitte, Murugappa, TVS Motors — gave John a rare gift: he knows how scale actually works, not just in theory. When Malay brought him the ezyLegal vision, John found it intriguing. Then compelling. Then impossible to walk away from. He joined as Co-Founder, and brought two decades of strategic muscle with him.

The original spark. An NIT Rourkela engineer and FMS Delhi MBA, Malay spent over a decade building digital products — from legaltech at LegalKart to SaaS at Wolters Kluwer — before co-founding ezyLegal in 2021. He's the one who saw the gap, made the call, and built the company from the ground up. Today he runs the India operations and holds the vision that drives everything.

The architect behind everything that works. Nitin co-founded ezyLegal with Malay in 2021, and has been building its technology backbone ever since — remotely, from the US, with 17+ years of enterprise-grade experience from IBM and VLink. Distance hasn't slowed him down once. If anything, it's made him sharper. The platform scales seamlessly across India because Nitin built it that way.
