1.Tell us about yourself
Professionally I am the founder of kaalecoatwale.com and National Journal for Legal Research and Innovative Ideas(NJLRII). I also have started several sites and shut down a few . kaalecoatwale.com is a successful experiment of me and my brother Ashwani Singh (Co-Founder) . I am a law student at Faculty of Law, Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh and Ashwani is an engineering student. Basically I am a student but I always try to solve many business puzzles and working as Advisor for a numerous  small businesses. I decided to choose help the small businesses because they can't afford the highly paid business advisory. Since my childhood I am very passionate about philanthropy and being a great philanthropist is still one of my dream. From past 4 years I am also engaged with two of my NGOs (Roti Bank Aligarh & Ummid Seva Samiti). In the same order I decided to launch this platform kaalecoatwale.com to help the small town or young lawyers to grow more. I have a lots of ideas and I can't execute them without Ashwani , I usually think and he make them possible. Right now we are working on News App. Deep down I am an introverted man and a poet too. And I am always grateful to the almighty and my family . My introduction would be incomplete without my team consisting of Simar , Rajat , Tisha , Priyanshu, Vanshika . Also Riya always plays  the role of backbone of my life.

 

2.How did the idea for your business come about?
Everything has got digitalize , this is the era of digitalization still many small town lawyers and young lawyers are not able to find a space to present them in front of the world .Majority of the citizens still do not have access to the necessary tools, information to know the law and fight for their rights. Numerous people do not know how the legal system works which makes them disrespect the system. Many people aren't able to get the justice because they do not have proper legal guidance. Sometimes people have lawyers but  they can't afford them or they are not aware about that what kind of lawyer they actually needs. Thats why we have come up with this idea .

4.What are the challenges you faced till date and presently facing?
As such there was no big challenge for  everything is going smoothly, but  for me it is very challenging to coordinate with a team , because too many cooks spoil the broth. To build a great team to  ensure the quality of the things we are providing and learn to manage the fastest growing organization is also a big task in front of me as everyone has his own views. To stay positive , productive when things don’t dislodge keeping the spirits high amidst failure and incomplete projects that just don’t progress might be big challenge for me . As in starting I talked to many Senior/Experienced Lawyers to execute this idea some of them disregarded the idea but many of them appreciated my idea to connect the lawyers globally.
Apart from this I faced a challenge after my school , somehow I got AIR 2643 in UPSEEE and less percentage in my class 12th, fortunately I was not able to crack JEE-Mains , but I was eligible for the Engineering College numerous colleges offered me the admission but I denied because I wanted to see the change in the society that's why I change my aim from becoming engineer to a lawyer. The challenging part in this to persuade my parents for the same I persuaded them successfully as I haven't qualified for the JEE-Mains. Always remember there is always criticism in the starting and appreciation later.In those dark times, one has to keep the faith and just keep doing the work , to trust the process is always a difficult and soul-crushing , but that is where success really takes place so one must keep going.
Presently we are not facing any problem.

I always wanted to become a philanthropist, in the same order I need to earn something so that I can help the needy in a more significant way . From my school days I started to save my pocket money and otherexpenses I never used any fancy and expensive stationary products in my school days. I got exposure of marketing since my school days I promoted the coaching in my school in which I studied for the IIT. This thing also motivated me to become a entrepreneur. I always wanted to do something for the society, I had Mathematics in my +2, I left the admission offer from many engineering colleges I secured 2643 AIR in UPSEEE , I dropped a year then took the admission in AMU Law Faculty and finally I am running this start-up successfully.
