We’re [Sayan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sayanbhatia/) and [Sohil](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sohilbhatia/). We’re brothers and the co-founders of Kalinda.\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n**The Problem:**\n\n* Millions of people every year join class action and mass tort lawsuits, hoping for justice and compensation. \n* For the law firm, this means verifying proof of usage and liability for each person—information often buried across thousands of pages of medical, pharmaceutical, and product records. \n* This compounds to several months of work for law firms just to determine who qualifies and who doesn’t.\n\n**Our Solution:**\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaPmwze4G18\n\nKalinda…\n\n* **Extracts** proof of use, proof of injury, and other critical data points\n* **Aggregates** and correlates this data against lawsuit criteria\n* **Generates** a single report so plaintiff attorneys instantly know if a case is valid to file\n\nAll while doing this for each case, _working tirelessly and in parallel_. \n\nWhen scaled across an entire litigation this turns a process that once took months into just a few hours.\n\nAs the lawsuit progresses and criteria change, we also help attorneys filter, categorize, and score to surface their strongest cases.\n\n**Where we’re at:**  To date, we’ve processed 600k pages of records and are live with 2 of the largest plaintiff law firms in the U.S!\n\n**The Why \u0026 The Vision:**\n\nThe plaintiff side of class actions and mass torts have struggled for decades now with what’s often called the [“Field of Dreams” problem](https://texaslawreview.org/multidistrict-litigation-and-the-field-of-dreams/). Thousands of clients sign up for a lawsuit looking for restitution - only to leave the law firm buried in records, missing deadlines, and filing bad cases. When courts throw out these bad cases, it weakens the plaintiff side’s leverage in settlement negotiations.\n\nWith Kalinda, class action \u0026 mass tort law firms can now file valid cases faster and file more of them — fundamentally changing for the first time in 172 years not only how many people can get justice against corporate negligence, but how fast it’s delivered.\n\n**The Team:**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=93158\u0026key=user_uploads/2232317/204e2640-94bc-464d-b0da-40f257ffc8d8)\n\n* **Sayan (Co-founder \u0026 CEO) -** did AI research at UC Davis’s LUKA Lab in instruction tuning optimization. \n* **Sohil (Co-founder \u0026 CTO) -** did AI research at Pacific Northwest National Lab\n\nWe’ve been collaborators together since Day 1 and even co-founded and scaled a STEM non-profit together to 7000 students worldwide.\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\nIf you either have \n\n1. Been a part of a class action or mass tort in the past\n2. Know a friend or family who’s been a part of a class action or mass tort \n3. Know any attorneys, paralegals, associates at class action/mass tort law firms.\n\nReach out at [founders@kalinda.ai](mailto:founders@kalinda.ai).
