We're partnering with Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Ltd. (MSRDC) to modernize their litigation management system. This 12-month engagement will transform how a major public sector organization handles 3000+ cases across land acquisition, procurement, and contractual disputes.
Working alongside research partners (FED, TrustBridge, XKDR), you'll be the driving force behind building a data-driven litigation strategy that can scale across Maharashtra's public sector.
Your Role
As the on-ground consultant, you'll lead the end-to-end transformation of MSRDC's litigation management approach. This means spending significant time working directly with MSRDC teams, building systems from scratch, and creating frameworks that will shape decision-making for years to come.
Key Responsibilities:
Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary liaison between MSRDC divisions, legal teams, and senior leadership
Data Systems: Design and implement data collection templates, train divisional officers, and ensure systematic cleanup of litigation records across multiple departments
Analysis & Strategy: Analyze dispute patterns, draft litigation strategy frameworks, and develop actionable recommendations on when to settle, appeal, or litigate
Knowledge Transfer: Conduct workshops, create documentation, and build sustainable processes that outlast the engagement
What We're Looking For
Experience: 2-5 years in consulting, project management, or client-facing roles with external stakeholders. Prior experience working with government organizations / PSUs preferred.
Technical Skills:
Proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets
Experience with data collection, cleaning, and management at scale
Comfortable creating executive-level presentations and reports
Curious using AI tools (LLMs) for data management, cleanup
Personal Qualities:

Meticulous attention to detail with strong process orientation
High ownership mindset and bias toward action
Comfortable navigating government/PSU environments
Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree (Economics, Law, Engineering, or related fields preferred but not mandatory)
What Makes This Unique
This isn't a desk job. You'll spend considerable time on-ground, working directly with government officials and legal teams. You'll see your frameworks adopted at the highest levels of state government. You'll build something that doesn't exist yeta replicable model for public sector litigation management that could transform governance across India.
