Founder & CEO, Vakil Vetted
Before founding Vakil Vetted, Prachi spent over a decade understanding the Indian legal system from every angle — as a qualified lawyer, an investigative legal journalist, and a trusted advisor to top-tier law firms.
At Vakil Vetted, she brings all that insight together to solve one big problem: why is it still so hard for small businesses to find the right lawyer — one they can trust, afford, and actually grow with?
Prachi believes India’s lawyers are world-class — but matchmaking has failed them. Through Vakil Vetted, she’s building a BCI-compliant, trust-first legal strategy platform that does the hard work of curation, so founders and MSMEs don’t have to gamble with Google searches or generic directories.
Under her leadership, Vakil Vetted is reimagining what legal access should feel like: warm, precise, sector-smart, and built for real business outcomes.
Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer, Vakil Vetted
After a distinguished 37-year career at NTPC — one of India’s most respected public sector enterprises — A.P. Shrivastava now anchors operations and financial strategy at Vakil Vetted. As COO & CFO, he brings deep experience in managing large-scale systems, public accountability, and cross-functional coordination.
At Vakil Vetted, he oversees execution integrity, builds operational discipline into every layer of our legal matchmaking engine, and ensures fiscal prudence as we scale. His role spans legal operations, regulatory compliance, finance, internal controls, and vendor oversight — with a sharp focus on building a sustainable and transparent backbone for the platform.
With his track record of leading complex teams and infrastructure at scale, he brings to the startup ecosystem what it often lacks — method, accountability, and wisdom that withstands the test of time.
