TrustBridge Rule of Law Foundation

TrustBridge was founded by Akshay Jaitly and Karan Singh, who previously built one of India's most respected first-generation law firms. With over 25 years of experience, they now focus on strengthening the rule of law for business in India. At TrustBridge, we aim to improve India’s business environment by enhancing legal and regulatory frameworks. Our research identifies gaps in existing laws, evaluates their impact on economic growth, and explores evidence-based policy solutions to align governance with India’s broader economic goals. Our Focus Areas 🔹 Financial Markets A robust legal framework is key to deep and resilient financial markets. We study how laws and enforcement mechanisms in banking, bankruptcy, insurance, pensions, and capital markets shape private sector participation, investment, and innovation. 🔹 Government Contracting & Litigation The government is one of India's largest litigants, affecting economic efficiency and delaying court processes. Our research examines the structural reasons behind excessive government litigation and explores solutions to improve contracting practices and decision-making efficiency. 🔹 Just Energy Transition India’s energy transition must balance climate commitments with development and equity goals. We focus on state-level regulatory reforms to drive investment while ensuring an inclusive transition to cleaner energy sources. Through rigorous research, legal analysis, and policy recommendations, TrustBridge seeks to foster a more predictable, transparent, and growth-oriented legal environment in India. 📩 Connect with us to collaborate on shaping India’s legal and regulatory future.
