India's Top Corporate Lawyer Exposes The Legal System | The Millionaire's Podcast | Episode VII

Understanding the legal system is a difficult task, especially when it comes to navigating the complexities of business, entrepreneurship, and startups in India. Laws often seem like barriers rather than enablers, but the truth is far more nuanced.

In Episode VII of The Millionaires Podcast, your hosts Aarnav Agrawal & Yuvraj Agarwal sits down with Srinivas Katta, a powerhouse in the legal world and the founding partner of IndusLaw, one of India’s most successful law firms. Srinivas has been instrumental in shaping India’s startup ecosystem, working closely with game-changing companies like CRED and Upstox through his cap-table management startup, RuleZero.

Srinivas brings unparalleled insights into the often-overlooked realities of India’s legal framework, challenging preconceived notions and offering practical advice for navigating its complexities.

What we covered in this episode:

The Evolution of Corporate Law: How the legal system impacts startups and scale-ups.
Building IndusLaw: What it takes to create and sustain one of India’s largest law firms while maintaining ethical practices.
RuleZero’s Impact: Revolutionizing cap table management for India’s top startups.

Srinivas was also recognized among the “40 Who Matter in India’s Startup Ecosystem” for his unparalleled contributions. He shares his journey with honesty and depth, offering lessons not just for entrepreneurs but for anyone aiming to create lasting impact.

For us, the legal side of business has always been a black box—complex, often frustrating, and sometimes even intimidating. But after this conversation, we walked away with a newfound respect for the people shaping the legal ecosystem and the critical role they play in empowering innovation.

If you’re an entrepreneur, aspiring founder, or someone looking to understand the real levers behind India’s business ecosystem, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
