AI Governance & Compliance
AI regulation in India is still developing, which means companies deploying AI today are largely building on general data protection, consumer protection and contract law rather than AI-specific rules. That makes careful legal structuring more important, not less, while the specific rules catch up.
Companies building AI products
Risk assessment and structuring for the models and systems you build.
Companies deploying third-party AI tools
Contract review and use policy development for tools you integrate.
Companies training models on personal data
DPDP Act compliance for data used in training and inference.
Boards overseeing AI adoption
Clear legal framing of AI-related risk for governance purposes.
Roadmap
Where we help, across the AI lifecycle.
From data sourcing through deployment and ongoing monitoring.
- 01Before building or deploying
Assess the risk
Different AI use cases carry meaningfully different levels of legal risk.
- Risk classification based on use case and decision impact
- Data sourcing and training data legal review
- Bias and fairness legal risk assessment
- Sector-specific regulatory considerations
- 02Training and inference stage
Structure the data
Data protection law applies fully to AI training and inference.
- DPDP Act compliance for personal data used in training
- Consent and purpose limitation for AI data use
- Data licensing agreements for third-party training data
- Anonymisation and data minimisation advisory
- 03Integration stage
Contract the deployment
AI vendor and licensing agreements carry specific risk allocation questions.
- AI vendor and API licensing agreement review
- Liability allocation for AI-driven decisions and errors
- IP ownership in AI-generated output
- Service level and accuracy commitment review
- 04Ongoing
Govern and monitor
AI systems need ongoing oversight, not just launch-stage review.
- AI use policy development for internal and customer-facing tools
- Algorithmic accountability and explainability documentation
- Ongoing regulatory monitoring as India's AI framework develops
- Incident response planning for AI-related failures

Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each one is a gap that widens as AI regulation catches up to AI adoption.
Assuming AI-specific regulation does not apply yet, so nothing applies
Existing data protection, consumer protection and contract law already apply fully to AI systems, even without AI-specific legislation in force.
Training data sourced without clear rights or consent
Using data for AI training without confirming you have the right to use it that way creates exposure that surfaces later, often at the worst time.
AI vendor contracts that do not allocate error liability
When an AI tool makes a costly error, unclear liability allocation in the vendor contract leaves you exposed with limited recourse.
No internal AI use policy
Without clear guidance, employees adopt AI tools inconsistently, creating data security and confidentiality risks that are hard to see until something goes wrong.
Treating AI-generated content as automatically owned by the company
Ownership of AI-generated output is not always straightforward, and depends on the tool's terms and the nature of your contribution to the output.

Current on the evolving landscape
We monitor how India's AI regulatory approach is developing, rather than advising from a static playbook.
Practical, deployment-focused advice
Guidance built around your actual use case, not abstract AI ethics principles.
Data protection foundation
Our AI advisory is grounded in deep DPDP Act experience, since that framework governs most AI legal risk today.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
Is there AI-specific law in India yet?
India does not yet have comprehensive AI-specific legislation, so AI systems are primarily governed by existing data protection, consumer protection, IP and contract law.
We help you understand how these existing frameworks apply to your specific AI use case.
Can we use customer data to train our AI models?
This depends on your original purpose of collection and consent obtained, since using data for a new purpose like AI training generally requires this to be within scope of what customers agreed to.
We review your specific data and consent framework before you proceed.
Who owns content generated by an AI tool we use?
This depends on the terms of the AI tool itself and the nature of your input and modification, and is not always a straightforward default.
We review the specific tool's terms to clarify your position.
What should our AI vendor contract address?
Liability for errors or harmful output, data handling by the vendor, service level and accuracy commitments, and IP rights in outputs.
We review or negotiate these terms before you commit to a vendor.
Do we need an internal AI use policy?
Yes, if employees are using AI tools in their work, a policy helps manage data security, confidentiality and consistency risks that arise from ad hoc adoption.
We help you build a policy appropriate to how your organisation actually uses AI.
How much does this cost?
Fixed-fee packages are available for risk assessments and policy development. Ongoing advisory and complex vendor negotiations are scoped separately.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
