“Varartha was formed with a simple idea – to be the trusted advisor for management, founders, and funds throughout their corporate lifecycle. We focus on providing our clients an elevated user experience through clear communication and purpose-driven technology-enhanced execution. Clients today demand precision, speed, and bankable advice by lawyers who understand the commercial deal as well as the legal concerns. That is the standard Varartha is built around and aspires to maintain."
Atyam added,
"Varartha combines two Sanskrit words: vara, meaning excellence, and artha, meaning purpose. Every mandate is a turning point for the people behind it, whether that is a founder raising a first round or a fund backing a company for the long term. Our job at Varartha is to understand what each party is trying to build, and to get the deal done with that purpose in mind."
