Industries
We Go Where the Future is Being Built.
Sector knowledge is not a nice-to-have at GLA — it is the foundation of every piece of advice we give. We have genuine depth in six sectors where we've spent years understanding not just the law, but the commercial models, investor ecosystems, and policy environments that define each space.
Technology & Deeptech
GLA is India's most active boutique legal advisor in the deeptech VC ecosystem. We have advised on transactions spanning quantum computing, advanced robotics, space technology, semiconductors, AI, aerospace, and industrial automation. As counsel to multiple deeptech funds operating in India., we sit at the centre of India's deeptech investment community — with insight into emerging technologies, their IP architecture, regulatory exposure, and path to commercialisation that no generalist firm can match.
Electric Mobility
India's EV ecosystem is one of the most dynamic and legally complex sectors in the country — characterised by rapid regulatory evolution, significant capital deployment, and a complex supply chain. GLA has been advising in this space since its early days, and our understanding of its legal and commercial terrain is second to none. We co-published with Speciale Invest, the two most authoritative reports on EV legal frameworks produced in India — "Charging Ahead" Parts I and II.
Social Enterprises &
Impact Investing
GLA's social enterprise and impact investing practice is one of the most respected in India — built over years of deep engagement with flagship institutions including Sattva Consulting, Global Innovation Fund, Catalyst Group, eGovernments Foundation and the Navaka Social Business Fund to name a few. We understand the unique legal architecture of social enterprises: governance requirements, blended finance structures, impact reporting frameworks, and the regulatory terrain governing non-profit, for-profit, and hybrid entities. Our role as lead legal advisor for the Life Skills Collaborative — a coalition of 18 organisations — exemplifies the depth of our engagement in this sector.
Healthcare & Medtech
India's healthcare and medtech sector presents extraordinary opportunities — and extraordinary legal complexity. GLA has advised across the full spectrum: from digital health startups and medtech device companies to fertility and reproductive health platforms, and global health impact investors. We understand the regulatory environment for medical devices and health data, and the clinical and IP considerations that underpin medtech investment. Our deep relationships with organizations such as Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms, Tomorrow Capital, Speciale Invest, Global Innovation Fund and Dozee illustrates the depth of our experience in this pivotal sector.
Climate & Clean Energy
The transition to a low-carbon economy is one of the defining investment and legal themes of our generation. GLA advises investors, enterprises, and development finance institutions at the frontier of climate and clean energy — from climate-focused fund structures and green financing to carbon market mechanisms, clean technology commercialisation, and ESG governance. Our work with organizations such as ANDE, Climake, Navam Capital, Sattva Consulting and Global Innovation Fund has given us a unique vantage point on blended finance structures and climate-oriented capital deployment in India.
Sports & Gaming
GLA is among India's very few legal practices with a genuine, transaction tested depth in the sports and gaming industries. Our attorneys have been invited by leading digital media platforms, television channels, law schools and business schools to share their thoughts on critical sports governance issues. We advise on athlete representation, sports governance, sportstech investments, investments in gaming platforms, sponsorship agreements and brand endorsement agreements in India's rapidly evolving sports ecosystem.
