Deepika Dhakshinamurthi, Founding Partner, Lex‑Ink Legal

Corporate & Commercial Law | Labour & Employment | Intellectual Property | Banking & Financial Services | Startup & Investment Advisory

Deepika began her legal journey with a strong inclination toward public service. But over time, she found herself drawn to the quieter, strategic side of the law—where contracts drive business, legal structures enable scale, and compliance protects innovation. That interest shaped her path into corporate and commercial law.

She started her career as in-house counsel at a fast-paced tech startup, managing contracts, internal compliance, and regulatory filings. Seeking broader exposure, she moved to a leading Indian corporate law firm, where she advised startups and global businesses on a wide range of legal matters—spanning structuring, IP, employment, data protection, and foreign investment.

Over the years, Deepika has worked with clients across India, the United States, the UK, and Canada, helping them navigate investment rounds, M&A transactions, due diligence, and cross-border legal documentation. Her portfolio includes advising AI and SaaS companies, wellness and fashion brands, mobile app developers, and international platforms launching in global markets.

Whether drafting founder agreements or reviewing data privacy policies, she brings a sharp legal eye and a business-focused approach. Clients appreciate her for being practical, precise, and commercially grounded.

As a founding partner at Lex‑Ink Legal, Deepika helps businesses build strong legal foundations that are compliant, scalable, and future-ready.

Virupakshi Rajasekaran, Founding Partner, Lex‑Ink Legal

Commercial & Business Law | Fintech & E-commerce | Data Protection & Privacy | Intellectual Property | Investment & Cross-Border Advisory

With an early fascination for how businesses operate behind the scenes, Virupakshi naturally gravitated toward the legal systems that power commercial success. Her interest in business law wasn’t born in courtrooms—but in strategy rooms, client meetings, and investor briefings. That perspective continues to define her practice today.

Virupakshi began her career as in-house counsel at a fintech startup, where she handled a broad mix of legal responsibilities—from contracts and privacy policies to investor communications and regulatory matters. She later joined a leading commercial law firm, advising high-growth businesses in fintech, digital health, e-commerce, and education tech on commercial structuring, compliance, and risk allocation.

As her practice evolved, she began independently advising companies across the UK, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia—helping them expand, hire, protect their brands, and onboard global clients with clarity and legal precision. Her work spans everything from investment term sheets and SaaS licensing agreements to packaging compliance, employment policies, and cross-border business transfers.

What sets Virupakshi apart is her ability to decode complex legal issues and present clients with straightforward, commercially aligned solutions. She’s known for being sharp, responsive, and grounded in real business needs—not just legal theory.

At Lex‑Ink Legal, she now brings this international experience and practical focus to help businesses operate with legal clarity, strategic confidence, and long-term compliance.
