In this episode of The Great Legal Minds Show, host Rajnigandha Kalra Shinde sits down with Anirudh Rastogi, Founder and Managing Partner of Ikigai Law – a firm working at the intersection of law, technology, and policy, advising on everything from drones and fintech to blockchain and a privately funded lunar mission.
Anirudh shares how an overheard conversation between his father and a friend accidentally set him on the path to law, and walks through the pivots that took Ikigai Law from a startup-focused practice to one of India’s most distinctive technology and policy law firms.
He also unpacks how AI is reshaping the legal profession, why client trust can’t be automated, and how passions like motorcycling and drumming sharpen his thinking as a lawyer.
