An Interview with Akshat Singhal, Founder of Legistify.com
Legistify.com is an online legal facilitation platform with an aim to bring in disruption and transparency in the legal system of our country. We develop backed technology services which could help users to solve their legal problems.
Q1. Hi Akshat, Welcome to DSIM. Let’s begin with how did you come up with the unique concept of online legal agreements for “Legistify.com”?
Ans. When I was in college, I was working on different startup projects. There were some legal issue that we were facing and then I actually realize that lot of startup and young entrepreneurs faced lot of legal dilemma on a daily basis. At that time, I thought about this and came up with Legistify & started working on it.
Ans. We basically started by the name of Getlegal and that time we had a domain called Getlegal.in. We don’t have .com domain because someone running in abroad already had this domain. We gave it a lot of thought and then came to a realization that we needed a name which is far more accessible, far catchier, and far more self-explanatory and that’s how we came up this name.
Legit is what that sounds something legal that’s how the term Legistify coined. Luckily, we got .com domain. It’s very simple if you have a unique name which actually describes your product or services.
Q3. Interesting Akshat. What is one mistake you’ve made, and what did you learn from it?
Ans. I personally made quite mistakes. Initially finding the right set of people to work on your idea because business is like your baby and you have to nurture it from the very beginning. You have to remain careful in each and every step you take, if you want to be successful and want to grow big.
That’s how I realized; initially, we made a lot of bad choices in terms of finding people who willing to work with us. We learned from it and now we have an additional team to take full care of it, to choose right person who fits in our organization.
Ans. Our products and services are pretty convincing. We truly believe in helping more and more people with our legal issues and legal dilemma. Taking care of their legal issues is very important to us. This is something that makes us truly innovative and truly helpful for everyone. I think, this is good enough for all the users to actually come to our website.
Ans. Never Give Up. Start early as you can. If you think you can do something big with the ideas and you have that determination then just go with it. Sacrifice everything for your idea & keep 100% focus on your business goal. It is always about being yourself and your venture.
