The Founder
From a lawyer who turned out to be an entrepreneur named Ramanuj Mukherjee has created a start-up called ‘LawSikho’.
When Ramanuj was 14 years old, he was confronted by roadside violence that didn’t last for more than 5 minutes but had a profound impact on his life.
He was returning home from tuition on a bicycle, that’s when a stranger with a bicycle too bumped into Mukherjee and he was thrown out of the road. After gaining consciousness, Mukherjee walked up to the other person asking why did he do that. He was responded in the form of a tight slap, the 14-year-old was shell-shocked and protested again. The stranger slapped Mukherjee again.
Fuming and heartbroken Mukherjee went back home narrated to his father the whole incident and when he thought his father will finally serve justice to him. The stranger walked toward him and said, “I wanted to teach him a lesson, he cannot talk to his elders like this.” Mukerjee was later compensated with an unworthy sorry but this act of violence stayed with him.
He later studied law and realized how amazing the constitution of India is. Mukherjee began educating law and building connections and asking experienced lawyers to volunteer in his mission. The connections include entrepreneurs, lawyers, judges, and a whole bunch of other professionals that could volunteer around his mission.
All this hustle lead to the Project Lawsikho which dealt with lawyers educating the general public regarding day-to-day activities like How one can claim PF money, How to file an FIR in the form of tutorials.

The Recent Achievement
The RTI Cell was launched in March 2021 to make the tedious process easier for the nation.
In an interview, Mukherjee states, “We have developed a special RTI Cell because of the complexity of the accountability process.
From completing the RTI to consultation, the team does it for free. Some of their services include official articles about RTI, news updates, landmarks, and other similar incentives. The applicant will provide information to the team, after which the RTI will be submitted. Once they have received the answer, they will be notified of the next step.
“We have applied for more than 500 RTI applications in various fields such as human and animal rights, the environment, information technology, and more,” Mukherjee said. In addition, the team plans to use various RTIs to apply to both the Supreme Court and the High Court.
